In line with union policy, a claim for an increase in pay and improved terms and conditions has been submitted. The Lead Officer has met with the company and the following offer has been tabled:-
The offer equates to:-
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2013/15 – TFL (TFL/0001)
Further to my previous Circular (IR/243/15, 13th October 2015), I can report that TfL has imposed a pay award without agreement from the trade unions. Meetings between the Company and the Union’s negotiating team are now being scheduled and I shall report back any further developments as they arise.
I refer to my previous Circular NP/076/14, 11th April 2014, the RMT has been informed that the suspension of transfers-in from external pension sources has now ended. This will mean that from 1st April 2016 members of the TfL Pension Fund who have deferred (frozen) pension benefits are now able to consider transferring them into the TfL Pension Fund to buy extra pension benefits.
While the decision to transfer rests entirely with the individual member this is good news that members will again have this option.

STAFF FAMILY TRAVEL FACILITIES – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/12/2)
The following resolution has recently been received from our Central Line West Branch:-
“This Branch notes the appalling attacks that have been public made by Conservative Mayoral candidate Zak Goldsmith against tube workers. This includes a threat to withdraw the long held travel passes for staff family members. Whoever is Mayor, we will not accept any attack on our terms and conditions.

Tonight, Tuesday 12th April, the Transport for London Bill has its third reading – a Bill which transport union RMT has slammed as a “multi-billion pound rip off tailored yet again to the tax-dodging, global super-rich.”
The Transport for London Bill was introduced into Parliament to help TfL maximise, at all costs, the profits that it makes from developing its property.
Dear Colleague,
TO ALL TFL PENSION FUND MEMBERS - BEWARE OF PENSION RIP OFFS
I have been contacted by our representatives across LUL/TfL who have raised with the RMT their concerns that financial service (insurance) companies are offering to “release” TfL Pension Fund members' pensions in return for a lump sum payment. I have been passed letters from a certain company who are offering a lump sum payment of 25% of the members' total TfL Pension Fund value with the remaining amount being reinvested.
The Transport for London Bill was introduced into Parliament to allow TfL to participate in novel company structures – including opaque, tax avoiding offshore structures that are well-known vehicles for laundering capital. Specifically, TfL intended to jump head first into the worst kind of corporate structures known as “Limited Partnerships” to maximise the profit it hoped to make from developing the land it owns above and around stations.
TFL have written to the RMT Regional Officer John Leach and other unions notifying us "imposition" of TFL pay for 2015. Last year using "pfp" arrangments.
TFL branch has arranged a special branch meeting to discuss this matter on Tuesday 19th January 1600 at the Crown, 108 Blackfriars Road, London, SE1 8HW.
