I am pleased to announce that Lorna Tooley was elected the RMT MATS rep for LUL Managers, admin and technical services at the June TFL1 & LU MATS Branch meeting. Lorna was elected as the interim RMT MATS rep in May however after the post was advertised she was elected unopposed.
On June 11th LUL stated that they want a wage settlement, including Night Tube, which is “affordable, fair and sustainable.” This is a change from early April when they said they wanted a settlement which was “affordable, sustainable and fair.” So in all this time the only real change to the offer from LUL has been in the order of the words.
LUL's plans for new rosters to facilitate night tube rip up our hard earned agreements in a serial killing of our work life balance that Freddy Kruger would be proud of. These proposed rosters really are the stuff of nightmares…and the ones that LUL have shared so far are the “good ones”.

LUL Pay and Night Tube Negotiaions ACAS update from Regional Organiser John Leach
Dear RMT Members
Today myself and senior RMT reps from all LUL grades attended exploratory talks at ACAS to discuss the above matter. All the unions made the same point that LUL must abandon its reckless decision to break our current arrangements , and that the management must agree to negotiate changes.
RMT responds to TFL announcement of record passenger numbers
General Secretary Mick Cash said: "These figures are no surprise. Anyone who uses transport services in London will know full well that they are at breaking point and frequently dangerously overcowded as our creaking infrastructure struggles to cope.
