Under the banner "TfL unions together", RMT, TSSA, and Unite members at TfL struck on Friday 9 May.
Strikes closed Liverpool Street and Piccadilly Circus and other Travel Information Centres; this shows the power of joint action between unions.
We’re fighting measures that will freeze our pay and have the knock-on effect of reducing our pensions. Instead of a pay rise, which augments our pay year on year, TfL wants us to take one-off lump sum payments.
Government's £4.2 billion cut to TfL/LUL is the common factor behind this and the Tube cuts. It's no coincidence that these plans were all announced at the same time. More joint strike action between unions is needed, on LU as well as TfL.
We all need to get involved in political and public campaigning, such as the Hands Off London Transport day of action, bringing our disputes into the wider fight to save public transport in London from devastating politically–motivated cuts
