London Underground staff secure 6-month strike mandate

No strike dates have been announced but the union is keen to secure an improved offer on pay and to make sure all members are entitled to the same percentage increase.

Due to changes being imposed by LU management to pay bands, as it stands, not all RMT members would be entitled to the same percentage increase and this is wholly unacceptable to the union.

RMT will be meeting the employer soon and seeking to reach a negotiated settlement.

Mick Lynch, general secretary RMT, said: "Our members on London Underground are sending a clear message to management that they will not put up with substandard pay offers or any attempt to treat members unequally in any pay deal.

"We are always willing to find solutions to industrial relations issues, but our members will not tolerate an imposition of any pay deal where members are not being treated equally or fairly."
