Dear RMT Member,
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 – LONDON UNDERGROUND
At the conclusion of 2023 pay talks in February, the National Executive Committee instructed me to prepare a plan to address the issue of Pay Bands with London Underground and to explore the inclusion of a flat rate element in future pay submissions. The NEC has now considered a report received from your Lead Officer, and resolutions from Finsbury Park and Bakerloo Line Branches and taken the decision to include the following in our 2024 pay submission:
- An RPI + increase on basic pay to compensate for a real-terms decrease in pay in 2022/23
- All members covered by collective bargaining to receive any negotiated award irrespective of business rules or position in a pay band
- Pay bands to increase in line with any award
- The bottom of pay bands to increase faster than the general award as a step towards spot pay rates
- An underpin to secure a bigger percentage increase for the lower paid
- Reduction in the working work in line with RMT policy, that is a 32hr 4-day week
- Build on commitment to restore Priv for all by equalizing all travel facilities. All service in an Infraco or other entity since absorbed into TfL/LUL to count towards service for the assessment of retired travel facilities
- LUL POE to transfer to TfL under any redeployment of staff from LUL to TfL
- Bring outsourced members in-house
I will now be submitting our pay claim to LUL and I will keep you advised of all further developments.
Yours sincerely
Michael Lynch
General Secretary
