RMT Press Office:
RMT have achieved a substantial victory on London Underground after issuing strike dates and pursuing strong negotiations with tube management.
The union accepted London Underground’s latest pay offer, delivering notable improvements for members terms and conditions, including:
Pay increases: Lower-paid members will receive raises between 5% and 6.6%, with an average increase of 4.6%.
Protection of pay structures: Management's attempts to freeze pay bands and introduce detrimental "job family" structures have been scrapped.
Enhanced benefits: Improvements such as harmonised paternity leave extended to three weeks, three years' protection of earnings for medically displaced staff, and expanded eligibility for retired travel benefits have all been secured.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said:
"This agreement is a landmark victory for our members and a vindication of RMT's determination to fight for fair pay and conditions.
"By standing together and using the power of collective bargaining, we have not only secured a strong deal but also protected key safeguards that underpin our members' work-life balance and dignity in the workplace.
"This success highlights the importance of RMT's resolute industrial approach, and we will continue to build on this momentum to deliver further improvements in 2025."
RMT remains committed to advocating for our members and defending their rights in the face of any challenges ahead.
