LUL pay: don't let management set the pace

LUL bosses have told unions that they will begin negotiations over our next pay settlement on 11 May.

If previous years' talks are anything to go by, they'll likely drag on for months. Meanwhile, our pay falls further and further behind inflation. Remember: we were due a new settlement on 1 April...

LUL escalates attacks: we must escalate our strikes!

It's three weeks and counting since the RMT and Aslef strike on 15 March.

Since then, LUL has continued to impose job cuts on stations. It's continued developing its plans for changes to drivers' working conditions, which could see drivers working longer shifts and having shifts changed at short...

Cleshar: Poke Your Pay Insult

Engineering contractor Cleshar has insulted its workforce with a pay offer of just three percent, hopelessly below the rate of inflation and therefore a pay cut.

The company says that any increase above that must be paid for by 'productivity' - by which they mean fewer staff doing more work in...

On the front foot on pay

With our current pay settlement expiring at the end of March, RMT has submitted its demands for the new one.

The headline demands are a pay rise in line with RPI, or a £5k flat-rate increase (whichever is higher). It’s very good RMT is making aspecific demand, rather than asking for something...

TfL workers: vote yes for action on pay!

RMT members at Transport for London are balloting for industrial action to win a decent settlement on pay and conditions. The ballot opens on 31 January, and runs until 21 February. Tubeworker encourages all readers at TfL to vote yes!

(As there’s sometimes some confusion about this, and especially...

Don't delay on pay!

Our current settlement on pay and conditions on LUL is due to expire in April. We need to get out on the front foot in the fight for a new one.

We shouldn't accept anything less than an above-inflation increase (anything else is a pay cut!), and we should demand a flat-rate floor so lower-paid...

Northern line fleet workers vote for action

Fleet maintenance workers at Golders Green and Morden depots on the Northern line have voted by a 92% majority for strikes, and by a 94% majority for action short of strikes, in their dispute to win a decent pay settlement. 66% of eligible members voted in the RMT ballot.

Unlike most fleet...

Outsourced workers on the DLR to strike

Outsourced cleaning and security staff employed by ISS on the Docklands Light Railway will strike on 30 and 31 December, demanding improved pay and conditions.

The second day of the strike sees them strike alongside over 1,000 other outsourced cleaning workers on mainline train operating companies...

Boxing Day blues again...

Another Boxing Day has passed, which station staff and many other LUL and outsourced workers work as part of our normal rosters.

For drivers, it’s voluntary, and they get a substantial bonus for signing up!

This has never seemed fair to us. Good on the drivers for negotiating a good deal, but why...

Unite members reject TfL pay offer

Unite members working for TfL have rejected the company's insulting pay offer, by 92 per cent to eight per cent. RMT members had also previously rejected the offer. Unite is demanding an 8.4 per cent increase for 2022, and plans to move to a new industrial action ballot.

Unite's members at TfL work...
