Pay

Dear Colleagues,

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/0001)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/375/25, 20th October 2025), the meeting between all LUL IR Reps, the Lead Officer, National Executive Committee and Senior Assistant General Secretary took place to discuss the final offer received from LUL, in bold below:

RMT has won a three-year pay deal on the tube following strike action and sustained negotiations with the employer.

The union also managed to secure commitments addressing work-life balance among staff, including "fatigue friendly" rosters, further discussions on staff travel, and a consistent Boxing Day payment of £400.

The deal will keep pace with the Retail Price Index of inflation, protecting the value of RMT members’ wages over the next three years.

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

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.

21 August 2025

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.

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:

Dear RMT Member

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 – LONDON UNDERGROUND

I am writing to advise you that, following the magnificent mandate for industrial action you delivered in the ballot, a meeting was held earlier this week between your negotiating team and national officers.

The unanimous view expressed at the meeting was that, unless London Underground makes a suitable offer to resolve the ongoing pay dispute, then your union should declare its intention to take strike action.
