RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2016 – ALSTOM METRO TRAINS (LUL/0001/AMT)

In line with Union policy, a claim was submitted for a substantial increase in rates of pay and improvements to conditions of service. Following negotiations, the offer from received from the Company is as follows:-

• A no-strings increase of 2% to basic rates of pay, effective 1^st April 2016.
• Assistance towards the cost of an annual season ticket of up to £1350. This is only applicable for those who do not receive Oyster cards or other annual season tickets as part of their transferred terms and conditions from a former employer and does not include those who travel to work using their own method of transport.
• The travel allowance will be treated as a taxable benefit and the Company reserves the right to withdraw or alternatively reduce the level of assistance from the 2017 anniversary date.

The National Executive Committee has considered a report received from the Lead Officer and taken the decision to inform the Company that the offer is accepted. I have asked that the increase, along with backdated monies, is paid to members at the earliest opportunity.
