Defending and improving conditions

RMT Regional Organiser Jared Wood has appeared on BbC London News to discuss our dispute.

Dear RMT Member

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 – LONDON UNDERGROUND

I wrote to you yesterday (3rd September) following the talks with London Underground, stating that no new offer has been made and therefore the strike action would remain on.

I received correspondence from London Underground this morning, claiming to be a new offer – and this is a claim that they have gone on to make in the media today.

Dear RMT Member

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 - LONDON UNDERGROUND

Your Regional Organiser and functional reps met with LUL today (Wednesday) to seek an improvement to the current pay and conditions offer. Unfortunately, management refused to make any changes to the current offer.

Dear Colleagues,

INTRODUCTION OF OWFM APP - LONDON UNDERGROUND

The London Transport Regional Council recently submitted the following resolution:

“That this Regional Council notes that the new OWFM App that is to roll out to all LUL Revenue Staff and TfL Enforcement Staff.

That the App includes significantly enhanced data capture, monitoring of staff by GPS and providing of Data to third party companies - that this App is wholly unreasonable and highly intrusive.

Tube union RMT, today announced rolling strike action across the network beginning on Friday 5th September for seven days, with different grades taking industrial action at differing times.

The strikes come after management refused to engage seriously with union demands on pay, fatigue management, extreme shift patterns and a reduction in the working week, as well as failing to honour previous agreements made with staff.

RMT CALLS STRIKE ACTION

Dear RMT Member

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 - LONDON UNDERGROUND

Your RMT negotiators have attended a dispute resolution meeting with LUL and set out the most urgent priorities that they wished the company to address:

Let's talk about motions.

Last year a local representative discovered that period products varied not only in availability but also in price on their group. Train operators were being charged double and in one station five times the amount that station staff were for the same products. Responding to this feedback from members, the rep raised the matter and discussed it at their local branch, Piccadilly & District West.

DEFENDING JOBS, PENSIONS & AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/341/23, 15th November 2023), the Union has been in discussions with LUL regarding the Company's plans to introduce a trial of the use of iPads by Instructor Operators on LUL Trains.

This matter has been considered by the National Executive Committee and I have written to LUL to reiterate that RMT is opposed to any such trial of this nature and that the Union considers this move to be a step towards imposing Trains Modernisation.
