Mayor calls for government to pause new visa rules
The mayor of London has called on the government to reconsider its immigration rules, which the TSSA transport union said could leave up to 300 Transport for London (TfL) staff at risk of removal.
In July, changes to visa policies were announced, including increased salary thresholds for visa sponsorship, and removal of some transport roles from the "skilled worker" list.
Sir Sadiq Khan told the London Assembly on 9 October that the changes had "left TfL staff in limbo", according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
He said the deputy mayor for transport, Seb Dance, had written to the migration minister to call for the measures to be paused and for TfL staff to be protected immediately.
