Tube Lines Strike Ballot Over Pay & Night Tube

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE AND NIGHT RUNNING – TUBE LINES AP JNP (LUL/0001/TL)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/175/15, 23rd July 2015), the final offer which has been received from Tube Lines is as follows:-

Year One

  • A 1% increase + a £500 consolidated payment.
  • A £500 non-consolidated payment, which will be paid to all staff covered by collective bargaining in recognition of a 24-hour service.

Year Two & Three

  • A 1% or RPI increase, whichever is greater.

The Company has now been informed that this offer is unacceptable as it does not meet members’ aspirations over pay and does not include adequate compensation and recognition for members over the introduction of a 24-hour Night Tube service. As a result, a dispute situation now exists and the GGC has taken the decision to ballot all Tube Lines AP JNP members for strike action and action short of a strike. The ballot papers will be sent out on Monday 24th August and the closing date for the ballot is Tuesday 8th September 2015. I will keep you informed of all further developments.
