Campaigning for better pay
RMT Upfront is the newsletter for tube drivers from the RMT. In this special edition we look at what the company has offered for drivers in their so called 'full and final' pay and conditions offer, and why the RMT has come to the decision that a ballot for industrial action is now required to enable us to push for a better, fairer offer.

Dear RMT members,
Today myself and our reps met LUL to discuss pay 2019. The company made the offer as attached.
We immediately responded by saying that the RMT would seek to meet all our reps to discuss the offer. Therefore we cannot formally respond in this update. However, I stated that all pay deals in LUL are RPI linked in the past. Also, any banked rest days can only be taken in line with our agreements.
We still have some way to go in these pay talks.
As soon as our NEC has considered the position there will be a further update.
Thanks,
8th October 2019

That we note the report on file, and that our workplace representative has consulted the members and the Lead Officer recommends acceptance of the offer which constitutes a
3.4% rise in pay across various grades.
We congratulate our members, representatives, DLR Branch, Lead Officer and Ray Shackleton for obtaining this deal.
We instruct the General Secretary to advise the company of our acceptance.
Members to be advised by email & text.

That we note and adopt the report from our Southern Sub-Committee and subsequent resolutions from our branches:
“This branch notes that, despite numerous meetings with LU over pay/conditions, we are still at an impasse, with the latest offer clearly not meeting RMT’s key demands.
This branch therefore calls on the NEC to immediately organise a ballot of all LU members for industrial action.” - Bakerloo Line Branch
