Dear RMT Members

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2023 – LONDON UNDERGROUNDS - STRIKE ACTION CALLED 

On Friday last week, before the ballot had even closed, LUL advised us that it was ignoring any of your wishes and that the pay offer would be imposed in January. This has understandably been met with a furious response from you and your colleagues and your Reps have reported overwhelming support for a significant and immediate response.

I urge you to support the strike action to demand an improved offer that addresses the inflation of pay bands and protects the lower paid grades.

The details of the strike action are as follows: 

Engineering Vehicles Operations and Maintenance (formerly Transplant) members are instructed NOT TO BOOK ON for any shifts commencing between:

18:00 hours on Friday 5th January and 17:59 hours on Saturday 6th January 2024

Also, NOT TO WORK ANY OVERTIME OR REST DAY WORKING between:

18:00 hours on Saturday 6th January and 23:59 hours on Friday 12th January 2024

Track Access Control, Power Control and London Underground Control Centre members are instructed NOT TO BOOK ON for any shifts commencing between:

00:01 hours Sunday 7th January and 23:59 hours on Monday 8th January 2024

Service Controller and Service Operator members are instructed NOT TO BOOK ON for any shifts commencing between:

00:01 hours and 23:59 hours on Tuesday 9th January 2024

00:01 hours and 23:59 hours on Thursday 11th January 2024

All other London Underground members are instructed NOT TO BOOK ON for any shifts commencing between:

00:01 hours and 23:59 hours on Monday 8th January 2024

00:01 hours and 23:59 hours on Wednesday 10th January 2024

STAND FIRM TOGETHER, SUPPORT THE STRIKE ACTION

Yours sincerely

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
