Dear RMT Member
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2023 - LONDON UNDERGROUND
A leaflet for passengers on why Tube workers are on strike this week is attached. Please download it to read more.
TUBE UNION RMT today called on the London Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) to enter unconditional talks hosted by the conciliation service ACAS to avert strike action scheduled for later this week.
The union had been invited to talks with TfL earlier this week after London Underground workers backed rolling strike action by over 90 per cent against a below inflation pay offer.
The union also wants to see full staff travel facilities for all tube workers restored to prevent to the creation of a two-tier workforce.

Dear RMT Members
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2023 – LONDON UNDERGROUNDS - STRIKE ACTION CALLED
On Friday last week, before the ballot had even closed, LUL advised us that it was ignoring any of your wishes and that the pay offer would be imposed in January. This has understandably been met with a furious response from you and your colleagues and your Reps have reported overwhelming support for a significant and immediate response.

Dear RMT Member
Defending Jobs, Pensions & Agreements – London Underground
BALLOT PAPERS OUT TODAY
The current industrial action mandate in this dispute will expire in November and therefore it is now necessary to re-ballot you and your colleagues for a historic fifth time in this dispute. It is hugely frustrating. However, if we do not win every ballot, London Underground will have a free hand to attack members jobs, pensions and agreements. We cannot let this happen.
Strike action on London Underground has been suspended following significant progress made by RMT negotiators and London Underground Limited (LUL) representatives.
Planned strike action by over 3,000 members on LU stations on Wednesday 4 and Friday 6 will now not go ahead.
Following talks at ACAS, RMT has managed to save key jobs, prevent detrimental changes to rosters and secure protection of earnings around grading changes.
