RMT secures three-year no strings pay deal on London Underground
RMT has won a three-year pay deal on the tube following strike action and sustained negotiations with the employer.
The union also managed to secure commitments addressing work-life balance among staff, including "fatigue friendly" rosters, further discussions on staff travel, and a consistent Boxing Day payment of £400.
The deal will keep pace with the Retail Price Index of inflation, protecting the value of RMT members’ wages over the next three years.
RMT General Secretary Eddie Dempsey said: “This deal is a clear demonstration of the effectiveness of strike action and strong negotiation by our members.
"It is significant that RMT has secured a long-term RPI deal that departs from the recent industry approach of linking pay to flawed productivity discussions and measures of inflation that do not include housing costs.
"More widely, RMT members will expect to see a similar approach in other parts of the transport industry.
"I want to congratulate our members for this achievement, and we look forward to working with the employer in moving forward on fatigue and staff travel provision."
