RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2017 – TRANSPORT FOR LONDON (LUL/0001/TFL)
In line with union policy, a pay claim for an increase in pay and improved terms and conditions was submitted to the company. The Regional Organiser has met with them and the following offer has been tabled:-
We note the report from our Lead Officer and reject the derisory offer from the company which too is offered under the ‘Pay for Performance’ arrangements which are not agreed to by this union.
We also note the resolve of our TfL No.1 Branch and Reps in their steadfast position in these pay negotiations on behalf of our Members.
We instruct the General Secretary to write to the company requesting that they provide full responses to the 12 demands put to them formally by our Lead Officer during the negotiations process.
Members to be advised by email and text.

Having considered the views of our affected members via their reps this proposal has now been accepted by the NEC. I have informed the company of our acceptance of their proposals.

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, 1st 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,
John Leach
London Transport Regional Organiser
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.
