RMT reps say pay offer falls short
The overwhelming view of the reps at the meeting was that the pay offer fell short of what was wanted.
It was a below inflation 4 year deal that gave us no increase until year 4.
In year 1 we get about 2% , with strings and dependant on what salary you are on, but the RPI in April 2015, when we should have got our pay rise, was 2.5%,
In years 2 & 3 RPI or 1% (whichever is greater) and year 4 only 0.25% above RPI.

RMT London Transport Region reps and activists met today to discuss London Underground's latest pay offer.
RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said:
“Today was the first opportunity for RMT reps to come together to consider the revised offer on Night Tube and pay and conditions received from London Underground last week.
Demo at Clapham Common station to kick off the camapign to stop London Underground targeting Glen because of his Trade Union activities.
London Underground bosses could face a London-wide Tube strike by RMT union members if they proceed with disciplinary action against union activist Glen Hart.
Bosses tried to sack Glen last year during strikes over cuts to stations.
At November’s LTRC meeting, branches in attendance overwhelmingly agreed to contribute £250 towards Shasha Khan’s legal costs as a consequence of his campaign to stop the installation of Sutton/Croydon borough’s proposed incinerator.
Many may ask, why is this even significant to the trade union movement and indeed RMT union?
The following resolution has been received from the TfL No.1 Branch:
“TfL No. 1 Branch are concerned that as a result of TfL/LUL managements decision to award certain layers of staff with pay for performance pay increases, union members are seeing their future pension benefits eroded.
We request that the General Secretary carries out a proper investigation into this position as a matter of urgency so that future pay and conditions negotiations see pay increases linked to basic pay and not awards of one off lump sum payments.
