RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2022 - ISS (KAD CONTRACT) (TFL/0001/ISS(DLR))

Following initial pay negotiations with the Company, the Union rejected a 0.9% increase as this obviously falls far short of our members' aspirations. There has not been any improved offer forthcoming and the National Executive Committee has taken the decision to raise the issue of rates of pay and conditions of service on the ISS (DLR) contract with UK management of ISS.

I will keep Branches advised of all further developments.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Colleague,

Dear RMT Member

SEASON'S GREETINGS FROM THE GENERAL SECRETARY

I would like to wish the very best to all RMT members and their families during the festive season.

Many RMT members do not get as much time off as others during the Christmas and New Year period, and many of you will be out working - keeping our transport networks and systems going, or doing vital maintenance and renewals to our infrastructure during this season.

Dear Colleague,

TFL PENSION FUND - INDEPENDENT REVIEW

You need to vote YES in the ballot to defend your pension. We can't let the Government and TfL leave you in poverty when you retire.

I refer to my previous email of 10th November 2021, you will now be aware that the RMT have formally informed TfL management that we are now in dispute with them over jobs, pensions and working conditions and as a result over 10,000 of our members across LUL and TfL are currently being balloted for industrial action.
