RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2017 – BALFOUR BEATTY (LUL CONTRACT)

We note the report from our Lead Officer and the graduated pay offer from the company which provides our lowest paid members with a 5.6% pay rise.

We also note that our representatives recommend acceptance of the offer.

We therefore instruct the General Secretary to advise the company of our acceptance of the offer.

Members to be informed by personal letter and email. LU Engineering Branch and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.

LONG SERVICE AWARDS AND RETIREMENT – TRANSPORT FOR LONDON (TFL/18/1)

In 2013, TfL cut the award from 25 years’ service from £350 to £250 and increased the award for 40 years’ service from £600 to £700 (Circular No. IR/454/13, 1^st August 2013).

PAY PARITY, TRANSPLANT ENGINEER TRAIN DRIVERS AND OPERATIONAL MANAGERS – TUBE LINES AP JNP (LUL/10/2)

PAY PARITY, TRANSPLANT ENGINEER TRAIN DRIVERS – TUBE LINES AP JNP (LUL/10/2)
 
Further to my previous Circular (IR/39/17, 31st January 2017), the Company has been advised that a dispute situation also exists due to management’s failure to guarantee that Operational Managers with an ETO licence will be included in the pay parity agreement.
 

The RMT have achieved a significant victory in the Tube Lines Pay, Pensions and Night Tube disputes. A good pay deal has been secured, as well as pension parity for all Tube Lines members.  This long running dispute has been won because of the hard work of RMT activists and representatives.

The letter below from General Secretary Mick Cash outlines the dispute, and the full deal is attached.

In Solidarity,

Letter from General Secretary 

London Underground has agreed with the RMT about the fairest way to operate services on New Years Eve.

Now all Night Tube drivers will have the opportunity to either work or apply for annual leave on NYE, but if they choose to work they will be paid the same enhancements as full time drivers who volunteer. This has been a prolonged process – taking many months to achieve – but at last we have a position which is both fair and consistent with current procedures.

NEW YEARS’ EVE WORKING 2016 - An update

Dear Colleagues It has been brought to my attention that Aslef has been making wildly inaccurate claims about this Union’s position on NYE payments for drivers. It saddens me to have to refute statements from another union, because I believe we should always strive to work together, but I cannot allow falsehoods to go unchallenged.
