What is a National Executive Committee decision?
This article is an 'executive decision' which has been written by the RMT National Executive Committee. The National Executive is the union's governing body in between AGMs. Its decisions set out what the union will do on a particular issue.
These decisions can often be brief, and may be one of several passed over a period of time. To get a better understanding or find out more information about what the RMT is doing, speak to your rep or attend your branch or Regional Council meeting.
We note the views of our TfL no.1 branch on the pay offer from Transport for London.
We affirm the branch’s view that RMT should not accept TfL's pay offer. We do not support Performance-Related Pay, and we will not endorse part of our members' pay rise in the second year of this deal being conditional on us accepting a PRP policy that we have not even seen yet.
RMT is disappointed that other unions have accepted the offer and not taken up our request to pursue our concerns.
Dispute
We declare that we expect the full pay rise of RPI+0.5% to be paid to TfL staff on 1 April 2013 without any conditions, and that any attempt to make this conditional on our agreement to an unacceptable PRP policy will see this union go into dispute.
We affirm that the members transferred to TfL from LUL in 2011 should not have their rights under TUPE nullified via inclusion in a pay deal agreed by other unions, and instruct the General Secretary to obtain legal advice on this.
"RMT is disappointed that other unions have accepted the offer and not taken up our request to pursue our concerns."
We note the branch’s intentions to publicise and campaign for this stance, and offer all necessary support.
We instruct the General Secretary to send a personal letter to all TfL members outlining this union’s stance, and to enclose a membership form.
London Transport Regional Council and branches to be advised.
