Transport workers are ESSENTIAL workers

With the range of serious issues facing our members at the moment, your union will be stepping up its campaign under the heading Transport workers are ESSENTIAL workers.

Stena Line Pay Dispute

RMT is balloting its members over Stena Line’s offer to re-introduce a Company Sick Pay scheme of inferior value compared to the scheme the employer scrapped at the start of the pandemic.

London Underground cleaners are the unsung heroes of the pandemic in the capital. They’ve put their lives on the line every day, yet they are outsourced to a private company, ABM. They receive no company sick pay, no travel concessions and have an inferior pension scheme.

Protect Nottingham’s Linkbus Network

Nottingham City Council is proposing to cut £700,000 from the annual funding for the City’s Linkbus Network which is operated by the bus operator CT4N and serves a number of routes throughout Nottingham. The cuts will mean that a number of vital routes will be withdrawn or altered.

Save Eurostar

RMT is calling on the Secretary of State for Transport to urgently agree assistance for Eurostar, which, like other transport operators, has been significantly impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak, but which has not yet received any support from the UK Government.

Protect Avanti West Coast Customer Resolution Jobs

RMT is calling for Avanti West Coast to withdraw its proposals to relocate its Customer Resolution staff from Birmingham, around 90 miles to Sheffield, which put 60 jobs at risk of redundancy, and instead retain all jobs in Birmingham.

Save open-access rail jobs

The RMT is calling on the Government to urgently agree an emergency financial support package for the open-access rail operators Grand Central and Hull Trains to enable them to stay viable during the Covid-19 crisis and to prevent job losses.

TfL Funding Campaign

RMT is stepping up its fight to win full funding for Transport for London with the launch of an online petition.

Stop the Job Cuts at Trump Turnberry

RMT is stepping up the fight to halt an all-out assault on jobs and conditions at the US President's Scottish flagship golf resort that are being bulldozed through under the cover of the COVID-19 pandemic.
