TSSA

This week TSSA attended @TUCCymru where our delegate, Kay Kelly spoke on “publicly owned rail and keeping public transport workers safe”. Kay spoke about her experiences of supporting members who had experienced violence at work and TSSA’s campaign, Keep Transport Workers Safe.

TSSA General Secretary @MEslamdoust has welcomed as an ‘important first step’ plans by the government which will see free bus travel for under-16s in England across August. Full story - 👇 tssa.org.uk/tssa-welcomes-…

TSSA has called for action after the ‘tragic’ death of a London bus driver as police begin a murder investigation. Full story 👇 tssa.org.uk/tssa-comment-o…

This is tragic but solidarity means action. Transport workers need real protections now: -No lone working -Increased investment in British Transport Police -Banning orders to remove violent reoffenders from the Transport network. -Proper security measures on buses

𝗝𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗥'𝗦 𝗔𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 Labour’s affiliated unions have been clear that Labour cannot continue on its current path. Whilst we recognise progress has been made, such as aspects of the Employment Rights Act and the increase in the minimum wage, the results at the election last week were devastating. Labour is not doing enough to deliver the change that working people voted for at the General Election. Our focus is on the fundamental change of direction on economic policy and political strategy that unions have been clear is needed, and not on the personalities and unfolding political drama in Westminster. It’s clear that the Prime Minister will not lead Labour into the next election, and at some stage a plan will have to be put in place for the election of a new Leader. This is a point where the future of the Party we founded will be debated and determined, and we are working closely as unions to shape a shared vision on policy, political strategy and economic policy that will re-orient Labour back to working people, so Labour do what it was elected to do: govern in the interests of workers.

We are clear -

⏰You have until 10pm - but don't waste time (or your vote) - Vote Labour today.

.@TSSAunion campaigning in Haringey and Croydon today with fantastic local Labour candidates @chrisclarkcpfc & Matt White who care deeply about public transport safer streets and stronger communities. Vote for strong local Labour councillors today 🌹

Vote Labour today - polls are open until 10pm!

TSSA urges Labour voters to the polls tomorrow! tssa.org.uk/tssa-urges-lab…

TSSA is proud to have co-signed this letter alongside other unions, calling on MPs to submit a request for Private Members Bill on strengthening legal protections for transport workers against assaults at work. We won’t stop until workers get the support they need to be safe.

Today, our General Secretary, Maryam Eslamdoust marks May Day by calling for a pro-worker government. While the Employment Rights Act upgrades workers’ rights, big gaps still remain, especially in relation to the transition to Great British Railways: shorturl.at/o4XK2
