Rail union, RMT today welcomed the Labour government's intention to repeal Minimum Service Levels legislation.
The formal repeal of this draconian law will be part of the upcoming Employment Rights Bill.
In the meantime, Ministers are asking departments and employers not to use the legislation and to seek dialogue with trade unions on current disputes.
Just a reminder that tomorrow it is the H&C Branch Meeting as usual at 1500hrs. This meeting will of course be GOING AHEAD as planned.
I will be encouraging urgent business and reports only. Your Branch officers request that any correspondence or business that can wait until Septembers branch meeting does so. This is because of the all members meeting at 1600hrs (in the YMCA nearby) that many RMT H&C Branch members will want to attend.
This mass meeting is regarding the LUL Pay Talks, and full details can be found on RMT London Calling.
Dear Colleague,
UPDATE: FAR-RIGHT VIOLENCE
Further to my earlier circular today (NP/196/24) we have become aware that there could be further demonstrations planned by far-right groups aimed at mosques and refugee centres in the coming week.
We are therefore asking members where possible to be in contact with their local mosques, refugee centres and solidarity groups to offer our union's solidarity and support on the ground at a time when they face severe threats and intimidation.

Dear RMT Member
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 - LONDON UNDERGROUND
RMT submitted a pay claim to LUL in April and last week your Lead Officer and negotiating team attended pay talks with LUL. At the meeting, a verbal offer was made to increase rates of pay by 3%. However, pay bands would remain frozen and any member whose pay rises above the top of their band would receive only a non-consolidated payment for any salary above the band. The negotiating team unanimously found this offer to be unacceptable.
