Resolution: Revised Pay Offer

This resolution, submitted by Neasden branch and seconded by LU Engineering branch, was passed unanimously at the Regional Council meeting on 30 April 2009.

The Regional Council notes that LUL have now increased their 5-year pay offer to include increases of RPI plus 0.5% in years 2-5.

This offer remains entirely unacceptable in terms of both pay and the continued TfL redundancy process and withdrawal from no redundancy agreements that previously applied to all members.

The Regional Council calls on the Council of Executives to proceed with a re-ballot of LUL/TfL members as soon as possible. The Regional Council also calls on the Council of Executives to organise a ballot with the shortest practicable time span in order to allow for strike action to be taken as soon as possible.
