Tubeworker is pleased to report that, having won an improved pay offer [1], DLR staff have decided that it is still not good enough and they want more!
RMT members voted by 98 votes to 80 in a referendum to reject the latest offer, despite being recommended to accept by both the union's National Executive and their local negotiators.
Management and the union are hurrying back to the negotiating table, and the RMT DLR branch meets tomorrow to discuss th situation.
As the workforce is geographically compact, all work for the same (relatively small) company and are all in the same union branch, it should be easy for the union to allow rank-and-file members to direct the future of this campaign. One thing that we would strongly recommend is that any industrial action should be called to coincide with LUL station staff action. Unity is strength after all.
