DLR
A ballot is taking place on pay, health and safety issues and reports of members being bullied. The ballot result will be in on the 12th May (The same day as the Network Rail result).

RATES OF PAY LONDON UNDERGROUND

Further to my previous correspondence advising you of the result of the ballot, members are congratulated for returning a ‘yes’ vote for strike action and for the excellent support shown by you and your colleagues despite a massive campaign of misinformation and smears mounted by LU and TfL bosses and the media.

This year marks the end of our current London Underground pay deal and the beginning of negotiations for the next deal. Here is the pay claim that the RMT has given to tube bosses. In this pay claim the RMT is asking for:

1. A substantial pay award Dramatic rises in living costs necessitate a substantial, unconditional pay award at the earliest opportunity, in order for our members’ pay to keep pace with both the increasing cost of living and rates of pay in the industry.
2. A minimum flat rate increase for those on the lowest pay
