TSSA Women in Focus

The voice of women in the TSSA union

[TSSA Women in Focus @tssawomen]

The perpetrators and enablers must go with no recompense. We will no longer tolerate women paid off with members money to keep quiet and be bullied out

We welcome the Helena Kennedy report and abhor the culture of misogyny which has festered under the skewed power politics in TSSA. We welcome justice for survivors and demand that we are a part of the design and implementation of transformative change.

Hi @AtalianServest. Can we ask why your company is sending representatives in uniform to comment on a strike you aren't involved in? This person is part of your subcontracted cleaning company and is not involved in Avanti West Coast strike action. Thanks.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

RMT union members went on strike, but one of their colleagues told Sky News he doesn't think it's fair to the public.

[Manuel Cortes @Manuel_LaPalma]

Besides being incompetent, @AvantiWestCoast boss is also bloody greedy. @grantshapps do something about this fat cat rather than attack our @TSSAunion members seeking a fair pay rise! #RailStrikes

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

Strike action is a last resort - we're always open to talks if employers or the government want to make a fair and sensible offer.

Everyone deserves pay that keeps up with the cost of living.

🤝 We stand in #solidarity with all workers fighting for fair pay and conditions.

[TSSA @TSSAunion]

The message to @grantshapps is clear: either get out of the way or empower train operators to negotiate freely! #RailStrike #OurRailOurFuture

[TSSA @TSSAunion]

Women members of our union are appalled and feel exposed by the blouses. This is disgraceful treatment of the workforce @Manuel_TSSA writes to Avanti boss over the Easter weekend is a matter which demands his urgent attention

We are appalled at the issue of see-through shirts to staff on Avanti West Coast.
The company should be protecting women, not making us targets.
We call on Avanti to withdraw these cheap quality uniforms and treat their staff with the respect they deserve!

[TSSA Women in Focus @tssawomen]

Womens TUC conference unanimously passed Motion 4 from TSSA on sexual harrassment. However, it disappeared from the ballot to choose a motion to main TUC. A new ballot has now been sent out to lead delegates. Can all sisters vote for motion 4 in ballot rerun? Solidarity!

Public transport workers are heroes, who have kept buses & trains running throughout this crisis so other key workers can get to work. We owe it to them to make their health & safety a priority and that includes giving them the right protective equipment.

We call on all trade union and @UKLabour women's committees to affiliate to the @HDPenglish women's forum.

[TSSAatTfL @TSSAatTfL]

First this Tory govt cut 700m per year in @TfL funding. Now they are using Covid-19 to laden Londoners with unfair fare hikes, suspend the freedom pass at peak times and burden TfL with debt. 🤬

Why? Because passengers stayed at home and left public transport to key workers 🤷🏻‍♂️

[TSSA @TSSAunion]

Along with sister rail unions @ASLEFunion and @RMTunion we have written to PM Boris Johnson, Scottish FM Nicola Sturgeon, Welsh FM Mark Drakeford, and Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, saying this is not the time to lift the lockdown and run more trains.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

No one should have to return to work without tough new measures on safety.

The government must ensure that employers produce risk assessments before lockdown is eased.

And bosses who don’t take steps to protect workers should be prosecuted. https://t.co/foHazGm9pO

Great to have @Sadie_McDonough support #redforkeyworkers this #MayDay2020.

“This crisis has confirmed for everyone that it isn't the bosses, the bankers or the billionaires who keep the country running. It's the workers in some of the lowest paid jobs who we can't do without.”
