Heidi Hi Transport for London! Great to see #London's new Deputy Mayor for Transport, Heidi Alexander, meeting our reps and members at #TfL's first ever trade union fair.

London mayor Sadiq Khan will today throw his weight behind the unionisation of all of his London transport staff by joining TSSA transport union’s first trade union fair.

Train cancellations and strikes threaten to blight summer travel.
Manuel Cortes said his union reps have reported 200 trains a day being cancelled as a result of the third timetable change from Govia Thameslink

Mayor of London joins TSSA for first ever trade union fair at Transport for London (TfL), they’ll be at Palestra from 9:30 today.
Manuel Cortes said: “It’s great to see Sadiq showing this level of personal commitment to supporting our TSSA union. After years of union bashing under Boris Johnson's Tory regime inequality has soared in London’s transport sector. So it is good to see our Labour Mayor reminding people that unions are a force for good and our workplaces, indeed ou...r whole society, are safer and more equal where union membership thrives.”
Sadiq Khan said: “The union movement has helped to get a better deal for employees in ways that affect us all. From annual leave entitlements, to lifting restrictions on parental leave and tackling discrimination in the workplace – trade unions have been at the forefront of the push for greater fairness at work for generations. The GLA family has a proud history of working closely with the trade unions that represent our staff. I encourage you to find out more about the unions in your workplace.”
