London Underground Ltd

RMT General Grades Committee decision:

We note the resolution from our London Transport Regional Council and share its determination to protect members’ jobs and London Underground staffing levels. London Underground has already cut staffing levels to dangerously low levels, and should be considering increasing rather than further cutting them.

We instruct the General Secretary to ensure that the points outlined in the resolution have been raised with London Underground, and to place a report in front of us of the company’s response.

TUBE UNION RMT has rejected the latest Olympics pay offer from London Underground and has agreed to step up the pressure for a fair deal for all staff across the grades that properly rewards the additional work load and pressure that members will need to carry throughout the extended Olympics and Paralympics period.

The latest slightly improved offer from London Underground is made up of £100 depending on meeting ‘Customer Satisfaction Survey’ targets and £20 per shift worked during the 4 weeks of the Games only

We therefore instruct the General Secretary to:

This is the bulletin and related question and answer sheet regarding the Olympic offer made by LUL to 'all permanent staff (including those on fixed-term contracts) employed by LU ..., excluding those covered by the Senior Manager Reward Framework'

The offer has been rejected by the RMT as explained here in a separate article.

RMT General Grades Committee decision:

We note the offer from London Underground to operational staff of:

• £100 depending on meeting ’Customer Satisfaction Survey’ targets
• £15 per shift during the Games only (total of 4 weeks) to reflect changed working patterns. The target includes ‘staff availability’ on an Underground system which has seen dramatic staffing cuts over recent years.

We reject this derisory, inadequate offer on the following grounds:

RMT General Grades Committee decision:

We note the report from Professor Goodman on industrial disputes on London Underground. We agree to seek comments from our Regional Organiser, and from our London Underground branches and representatives, and instruct the General Secretary to place this issue back in front of us once these comments have been received.
