Transport Salaried Staffs' Association

13 June 2014

Travel centres at stations across the capital were disrupted today in the "let them eat cake" dispute at TfL.

Over 1500 staff staged a second 24-hour walkout in a pay and pensions row which excludes the top 300 bosses at Boris Johnson's transport body who all earn over £100,000.

Junior and middle managers are facing cuts to their pensions and a pay freeze while their boss, Sir Peter Hendy, took home £489,000 last year.

Leading a picket line outside TfL's headquarters in Victoria Street, Westminister, TSSA leader Manuel Cortes, accused Boris Johnson and his Golden Circle of bosses of acting like the Bourbons.
