The RMT have today (03 Feb 2010) rejected the draft proposal of the Duty Manager Grade Progression.
We cannot accept that some of our members will have their pay frozen with example of how this would work based on a 3% (hopefully more) cost of living increase below.
Year 1: £45,000 frozen + 3% = £1,350 paid in lump sum
Year 2: £45,000 frozen + 3% cost of living rise = £1,350 paid in lump sum

TfL Joint Unions Pay Bulletin
Submitted by admin on Mon, 14/12/2009 - 19:02
This bulletin has been issued jointly by RMT and the other five recognised unions in TfL. Click '1 attachment / file name to download it. Read the text below.
Get The Facts Right!
Warning! Don’t believe everything you hear from TfL. Managers have been telling staff that they will not receive the 75% Reimbursement after April 1st 2010 if they don’t sign the pay award acceptance form. This is untrue. Reimbursement will continue for the full length of your current season ticket, even if it expires after April 1st 2010. Maybe this was meant as an early April Fool, but it’s more likely yet another mistake from management that don’t seem to have a clue what they’re doing.
