As you are all aware, CMS was introduced for Duty Managers in September this year and will eventually replace your blue licence, at the minute it validates it. CMS will assess you continuously throughout the year to ensure you are competent to do your job.
However at the last MATS meeting where we were given a presentation of CMS we discovered that management had put, the grade progression model for Duty Managers in the CMS booklet.
Pay and the Economic Crisis: Answering the Arguments
Submitted by Janine on Sat, 24/01/2009 - 15:17"But other workers are losing their jobs."
Yes, and those workers could be our partners, sons, daughters or other dependants. If they lose their jobs, they will rely on our incomes more than ever.
Workers within TfL face job losses too. If we accept an inadequate pay deal, this will not protect our jobs: rather it will encourage management to attack them.

RMT Currently Reject Grade Progression For Duty Managers !
Submitted by admin on Wed, 03/02/2010 - 14:00Click '2 attachments' / file names to download this leaflet and the 'heads of agreement' on the issue that it refers to. Read the text below.
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

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.
