RMT Asks Members to Reject Alstom's Below-Inflation Pay Offer
Submitted by Janine on 8 September, 2011 - 11:50General Grades Committee decision:
We note the latest offer from Alstom Metro Trains:
• year 1: 4% increase on basic pay
• year 2: 4% increase on basic pay
• up to £400 Olympic bonus
• proposals on travel costs and appraisal interviews
We note that this offer does not meet our claim or our members’ aspirations, as it:
• is below RPI for this year
• may well be below RPI for next year
• compares badly to other pay awards in the region
