RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2023 - DOPPELMAYR CABLE CAR (TFL/0001/DCC)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/341/23, 15th November 2023), further negotiations have now been held and the company has proposed an improved offer of 6% backdated to the pay anniversary of May 2023. This was discussed at a meeting of members last week at which a majority were clearly in favour of accepting. Additionally, representatives canvassed the opinions of those not in attendance and this also showed a majority in favour of accepting the deal.

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2023 - THALES GTS (LUL/0001/T(GTS))

Further to my previous Circular (IR/184/23, 15th June 2023), members rejected the Company's offers in a referendum. The National Executive Committee considered a further report from the Lead Officer and has now taken the decision to conduct separate ballots for signal grades and other grades for strike action and action short of a strike in the form of an overtime and rest day working ban.

Further to my previous Circular (IR/166/23, 5th June 2023), the referendum concluded with members voting to reject the offer. The Lead Officer and negotiating team met again with the Company but despite their best efforts, no improved offer was forthcoming.

This situation is clearly unacceptable and while we remain available for further talks, the current impasse is of considerable consternation to members as reflected in a resolution received from DLR Branch.
