The 'Jobs for Life' Deal

Below is the text of the 'Jobs for Life' deal. This was an agreement made in 2001 between trade unions RMT and ASLEF, and employers London Underground Ltd, the PPP infracos and their subsidiaries. It followed strike action prompted by the impending imposition of the Public-Private Partnership.

The press coined the term 'Jobs for Life deal'. As you can see, it applies to all the above-named employers, and includes a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies.
