Cycling instructors consider strike action as real-terms pay cuts and poor working conditions spark mass exodus “Transport for London said they want everyone to have access to cycle training… Yet we don’t have the staff to deliver this promise” cycling
The Westminster-based cycle instructor is now calling on TfL – which, after agreeing a new funding settlement with the government until 2024 in September, currently allocates £2.7 million to the city’s borough councils for cycle training provision – to “take more care” when working with these local authorities to ensure that instructors receive higher pay and to end the precarious, self-employed nature of their contracts.
“People got involved in becoming cycling instructors because people loved it. People are passionate about their roles, but it feels that every two years you’ll have to retrain new instructors. “Ultimately, our members have to ballot for strike action and through the course of this year, we will see if we will take London-wide industrial action for cycling instructors,” Rocha says.
In response to the IWGB’s campaign, a TfL spokesperson said: “Restarting cycling training following the conclusion of the funding deal negotiations with the government was a priority for the Mayor and for us as it is essential that cycling in the capital is as safe and easy as possible, and training plays a key role in giving people the confidence to cycle safely.
