Excellent from @andymcdonaldmp.bsky.social in yesterday’s Railways Bill debate. We need a just transition for workers into GBR that protects - 👷‍♀️ Jobs 💷 Pay 🧓 Pensions 🚂 Travel facilities ✊ Trade union rights & recognition And that reinstates TU recognition agreements at Platfrom4!

Last week we launched our #ClearTheAir on London Underground campaign. Great to have the support of a range of organisations fighting for better air quality!

📣We've launched our Clean The Air campaign to tackle low air quality on the London Underground. We’re calling for higher cleaning budgets, HSE standards to be revisited as the benchmark for health & safety standards & better air quality for indoor public spaces #TFL

TSSA is warning that any rise in rail fares would price workers off the network after an unexpected rise in inflation. Full story 👇 www.tssa.org.uk/news-and-eve...

TSSA has called for continued rail safety vigilance five years on from the Stonehaven rail crash which killed three people in Aberdeenshire. Full story 👇 www.tssa.org.uk/news-and-eve...

At a time when many people are having to choose between heating and eating, it’s outrageous for train companies to increase rail fares by more than the rate of inflation. www.tssa.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Deepest sympathies to the staff and passengers in the tragic derailment at Riedlingen in Germany, especially to the friends and families of those who’ve died. We are all one railway family.

TSSA today warned Translink that Managerial, Professional and Technical (MPT) staff will commence action short of a strike on 30th July if they do not make an acceptable pay offer to their staff. Full story 👇 www.tssa.org.uk/news-and-eve...

c2c has gone into public ownership. We welcome that. But it must mean more than a change of name. We need a rail system that puts people before profit with job protections, better pay, conditions & safety, and affordable fares that make rail first choice for travel in Britain.

Today we met with Senedd members & staff to discuss our #KeepTransportWorkersSafe Campaign. Great to talk about tackling violence & harassment on the transport network in Wales. Looking forward to meeting with the Cabinet Secretary this afternoon on what Welsh Government can do! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💪 🚂

For many today it remains hot and in this heat we expect employers to show common sense and compassion. Staff shouldn't be disciplined for adapting their clothing to stay safe and comfortable. Flexibility on workwear is essential in high temperatures. #heatwave

TSSA is set to meet the Minister for Infrastructure at Stormont tomorrow in a bid to end a dispute which threatens a summer of industrial action at Translink. Full story - 👇

TSSA has many members at Eurostar and our thoughts are with all those affected by recent events. The deaths of the two people who died on the track shows cable theft doesn’t just cause delays - it’s highly dangerous and criminal.

8 years since the Grenfell Tower tragedy. We remember the 72 lives lost and stand with the survivors and the community still seeking justice. We need action including reinstating closed fire stations and fully resourcing our fire services. Never again must mean never again!

The government’s Spending Review presents challenges and is disappointing for the transport sector. Transport is one of the few departments with a real terms cut in its expenditure limit over the five-year review period. www.tssa.org.uk/news-and-eve...

TSSA has hailed as ‘long overdue’ a £15 billion increase in funding for transport across city regions in England outside London ahead of the government’s Spending Review next week. Full story on Rachel Reeves speech 👇 www.tssa.org.uk/tssa-welcome...

Buses are an essential service, and this is exactly what our Labour government should be doing in the name of not only protecting but building local communities across the country. www.tssa.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Labelling this project as benefiting ‘England and Wales’ when it delivers no new infrastructure in Wales undermines trust and risks depriving Welsh communities of much-needed funding for their own railways. nation.cymru/news/rail-un...

Farage posed today as a friend to working people. That speech? A stunt. Reform don’t fight for workers - they vote against them. Reform MPs opposed every single protection in the Employment Rights Bill: ❌ Fair pay ❌ Secure jobs ❌ Union rights Call them out: labourunions.org.uk/stop-reform/

BREAKING 🚨| 25 unions, representing over 1 million workers, have written to Angela Rayner MP and Cllr John Cotton to stop cuts in #Birmingham. The movement is behind the #BirminghamBinStrikers Read the the letter in full: bit.ly/BrumBinStrik... #StrikeMap #BrumBinStrike

We're calling on the Westminster government to halt a series of damaging cuts at BTP that could potentially lead to job losses and a drastic reduction in police presence at rail stations. www.tssa.org.uk/news-and-eve...

We reject discriminatory rhetoric and scapegoating of our communities. We stand together against hate.

The loss of power on such a scale is deeply troubling and hugely inconvenient for many people across London’s Tube and other networks. Safety for all is key at this moment, but in due course we will need a proper inquiry into what happened www.tssa.org.uk/news-and-eve...
