Dear RMT Member
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 - LONDON UNDERGROUND
RMT submitted a pay claim to LUL in April and last week your Lead Officer and negotiating team attended pay talks with LUL. At the meeting, a verbal offer was made to increase rates of pay by 3%. However, pay bands would remain frozen and any member whose pay rises above the top of their band would receive only a non-consolidated payment for any salary above the band. The negotiating team unanimously found this offer to be unacceptable.

Dear Colleague,
REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND
All Train Operator and Instructor Operator members on the Bakerloo Line, District Line, Central Line, Hammersmith & City Line, Jubilee Line and Victoria Line have been taking action to physically check their train before detraining. Now due to the anti-trade union laws, this ballot mandate will expire and it is necessary to ballot members again for this action to continue.
I have produced a leaflet here and would ask you to circulate the leaflet as widely as possible.
