A referendum of our Thales members on the latest pay offer has been held and has since concluded and the result is as follows:-
Total Votes Cast - 67
Number Voting ‘Yes’ - 65
Number Voting ‘No’ - 2

The company has been informed of our members’ acceptance and for your ease of reference the accepted offer is as follows:-
PROPOSED TRANSFER OF EMPLOYEE RELATIONS TEAM FROM LUL TO TFL (LUL/15/10)
USE OF FINGERPRINTING TO BOOK ON – ISS (LUL CONTRACT) (BR1/27/2)
Further to my previous Circular (IR/261/14, 3rd October 2014), Branches will recall that we were in dispute with ISS last year over the imposition of a biometric fingerprint system for staff to book on for duty. Members took industrial action with some even locked out by the Company for refusing to use the biometric machines. Agreement was then reached at ACAS which we hoped had resolved the matter however, the Lead Officer reports that management are now in breach of this agreement.
INTRODUCTION OF AGENCY TRAINERS, FLEET – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/13/2)
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/0001)
Further to my previous Circular (IR/332/14, 15th December 2014), members will recall that we included a claim for a 4 day, 32 hour week and equal travel facilities for all London Underground staff in our submission to the Company. A series of meetings have now taken place and the following offer has been made:-
Year One
A 0.75% increase, effective from 1st April 2015.
Year Two
An increase of RPI in 2016
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – INTERSERVE FACILITIES (KEOLIS AMEY DOCKLANDS CONTRACT) (DLR/0001/I(KAD))
In line with Union policy, a claim was submitted for a substantial increase in rates of pay and improvements to conditions of service. Following discussions with the Company, a report was received from the Lead Officer along with further correspondence from the Branch Secretary, advising that the Company has failed to resolve several issues which have been outstanding for many months.
