Signals Grade Progression - Dispute Resolved as LU Agree to RMT Demands

That we note that London Underground has agreed to our demands, and that members who achieve the appropriate qualifications will now receive the substantive grade and rate of pay.

We congratulate our branch, representatives and members on their resolve in pursuing this issue through grievances, negotiations and an industrial action ballot to a satisfactory outcome.

We therefore cancel our industrial action ballot.

We also note that discussion will now take place between LU and RMT over the next eight weeks with a view to reaching agreement in relation to revised grade progression arrangement within the Signals Framework. A report to be placed in front of us as to the progress of these talks.

London Transport Regional Council and branches to be advised, and a personal letter to be sent by post to all members who were balloted updating them on the situation.
