DLR management and RMT reps have held talks on the pay rise for 2007. So far, two options have been offered:
- 3.7% one-year deal
- 3.9% year 1, RPI + 0.5% year 2, RPI + 0.5% year 3
They are having a laugh. The first option is a pay cut, and the second is just 1% over 3 years!
Unless they improve this quickly, DLR should face a strike ballot. And if we can co-ordinate this with strike action on LUL, then so much the better.
