RMT official circulars

CLOSURE OF LILLIE BRIDGE DEPOT – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/15/1)

As Branches and members may recall (Circular No. IR/584/13, 7th October 2013), agreement was reached to resolve the previous dispute with London Underground in 2013 over the proposed closure of Lillie Bridge Depot. However, it now seems that this agreement has been breached and I have recently received the following resolution from our LU Engineering Branch:-

“Ballot of all RMT members in Lillie Bridge Depot and those affected. Lillie Bridge Depot Closure and Breach of LU Company Council Agreement.

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – ISS (TUBE LINES AP JNP CONTRACT) (LUL/0001/ISS(TL))

BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, DRIVERS, HAMMERSMITH & CITY LINE – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – LONDON UNDERGROUND

Following this Union’s official acceptance on 1st March of the 4-year pay offer for our LUL members, I would be grateful if you could advise me when the applicable increase and backdated monies will be paid to my members? 

The offer included the assurance that payment of basic salary to all eligible staff, backdated to 1 April 2015, will be paid through the first available payroll following acceptance of this offer but I have been informed that at the time of writing, it has not yet been implemented.
