NON-PAYMENT OF WAGES DURING LU INDUSTRIAL ACTION, CLEANERS - ABM (LU CONTRACT) (LUL/9/18)

The following resolution has been received from the London Transport Regional Council:

“This branch notes: - on the week of 7th to 11th September when the LU strikes were on, ABM cleaners were not able to work at their designated stations - as a result our managers decided to list us as absent and not pay us.

This branch believes: - this is totally unfair and cleaners should've been paid - if there's not work out there for them it's not their fault.

DEFENDING JOBS & AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

All LUL members have solidly supported the long-running dispute to ensure that jobs are protected by demanding that LUL provide assurances that there will be no reduction in headcount, no changes to terms and conditions or to the employer without agreement and that all vacancies are filled immediately.

Dear Colleagues,

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/0001)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/375/25, 20th October 2025), the meeting between all LUL IR Reps, the Lead Officer, National Executive Committee and Senior Assistant General Secretary took place to discuss the final offer received from LUL, in bold below:

TICKET SCANNING - KEOLIS AMEY DOCKLANDS

The Lead Officer has advised that KAD has imposed a Personal Development Review (PDR) target of 600 'reads' per week for Passenger Service Agent members while conducting revenue protection roles.

No consultation has taken place over this matter and the Company has not responded to our request for confirmation that no disciplinary, capability or performance management action will be taken against members in relation to this matter.

Dear colleague,

The RMT's Action Against Assaults campaign was launched at this year's AGM and is aimed at tackling the unacceptable level of violence faced by public transport workers at work.

Activity in support of this campaign is ongoing and has included the Union putting demands to employers for proper protections at work, as well as campaigning for proper staffing levels and against BTP cuts.

Talks have taken place with LUL this morning and management clarified the following points during the meeting:

19th September 2025

Dear RMT Member

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 – LONDON UNDERGROUND

Your RMT negotiating team met with LUL on Wednesday this week and again today and has welcomed LUL’s clarification on the offer on Boxing Day working: A minimum payment of £400 will be paid and no conditions will be attached in any function. Where better arrangements are already in place, these will remain unchanged.

RMT insisted that management now address other areas of our claim including:

Dear RMT Member

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 – LONDON UNDERGROUND

I wrote to you yesterday (3rd September) following the talks with London Underground, stating that no new offer has been made and therefore the strike action would remain on.

I received correspondence from London Underground this morning, claiming to be a new offer – and this is a claim that they have gone on to make in the media today.

Dear RMT Member

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 - LONDON UNDERGROUND

Your Regional Organiser and functional reps met with LUL today (Wednesday) to seek an improvement to the current pay and conditions offer. Unfortunately, management refused to make any changes to the current offer.
