Submitted by admin on 27 November, 2008 - 22:00
From Circular No. IR 283, November 27 2008
Dear Colleagues,
RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2009:
- LONDON UNDERGROUND LTD
- EDF ENERGY POWERLINK
- METRONET (BCV AND SSL)
- TfL
- ALSTOM METRO TRAINS
I write to confirm that a common claim for improvements to rates of pay and conditions of service in 2009 was formally lodged with all of the above employers last week. The basis of the claim is as follows:
- A substantial increase in rates of pay for all grades and additional protection for the lowest paid grades in the form of a minimum salary of £26,000
- Improved travel facilities for non-safeguarded employees
- A reduction in working hours without loss of pay
- A ‘London Living Wage’ as a starting wage for all contract staff
- A guaranteed job offer on medical redeployment
- Abolition of performance related pay
- Progressive ‘family-friendly’ policies
All of the above employers are now in possession of our detailed written submission. A full copy of our submission is available to download here.
I am hopeful that negotiations will begin early in respect of all companies. At this time, I am able to confirm that initial talks with LUL will take place on 16th December 2008. You will of course be kept advised of all developments.
(LUL/0001)
Yours sincerely
Bob Crow
GENERAL SECRETARY
