RMT accuses Tube bosses of playing fast and loose in pay talks as union steps up preparations for a ballot
Submitted by Admin on 11 July, 2019 - 03:26Tube union RMT today accused London Underground bosses of stringing staff along and playing fast and loose after an eighth day of pay talks yesterday failed to lever any king of meaningful offer out of the management side.
The union says it is both angry and frustrated at what it sees as blatant delaying tactics and is now stepping up preparations for a strike ballot across the tube network.
RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said;

There is still nothing from the company for members covered by Tubelines collective bargaining arrangements.

London Underground Pay talks update
Submitted by Admin on 21 May, 2019 - 22:50Dear RMT members
Today myself with RMT reps, and the other Trade Unions met LUL face to face for the 6th meeting we’ve had in this years Pay talks.
Despite our strong representation in the meeting the company made no revised/ improved offer. Rather they once again pleaded poverty. We told them in no uncertain terms that our members would not be paying for either the government or the mayor's financial starvation or incompetence.
At the end of the day long meeting LUL said they were preparing a revised offer and that they would send it to us next Thursday 30th.
