As you will be aware, the practice, known as ‘facility time’ is when an employee takes time off from their normal role to carry out duties and activities as a trade union representative. On 8 October 2020, LBC reported: ‘In Boris Johnson's last year as London’s Mayor, TfL spent £4.4m, or 0.23% of its total wage bill on facility time.
