London Underground dispute update - we demand more time away from work

19th September 2025

Dear RMT Member

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 – LONDON UNDERGROUND

Your RMT negotiating team met with LUL on Wednesday this week and again today and has welcomed LUL’s clarification on the offer on Boxing Day working: A minimum payment of £400 will be paid and no conditions will be attached in any function. Where better arrangements are already in place, these will remain unchanged.

RMT insisted that management now address other areas of our claim including:

Defend RMT members right to stay

Dear colleague,

Defend RMT members' right to stay - Demonstration - Wednesday 17th September 8am

On Wednesday, RMT is demonstrating outside the Home Office against recent changes introduced by the Government to the eligibility rules for the Skilled Worker Visa.

These unfair and arbitrary changes, introduced with virtually no notice mean that a number of RMT members, including some employed by TfL are now at risk of deportation when their current visas expire, which for some members is in a matter of months.

No new offer from Tube management

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.

Unless Tube pay offer improves, RMT will declare intention to strike

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.
