RMT Press Office:
RMT have won a pay rise for London Overground staff working for Arriva Rail London.
Workers overwhelmingly voted in favour of accepting the latest offer in an e-referendum.
It means the dispute is now settled and all planned strike action has been cancelled.
The details of the win for RMT members is as follows:
2023 - 6.5% uplift on all pay and allowances or a minimum payment of £2,000 for anyone with a salary of under £30,000
· 2024 - An uplift on all pay and allowances of February RPI 2024 or a minimum payment of £1,750 for anyone with a salary of under £32,000
· 2025 - An uplift on all pay and allowances of February RPI 2025 or a minimum payment for anyone earning less than £33,750, which will be negotiated in February 2025 as inflation forecasts become more accurate. All payments are backdated to the relevant pay anniversary.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said: “I congratulate our London Overground members for showing such tremendous resolve in this dispute.
“Strong organisation and the threat of strike action has once again yielded results.”
