Video: Night Tube strike update

Submitted by Admin on 25 November, 2021 - 11:37

On the eve of the first of several proposed Night Tube strikes, Regional Organiser John Leach updates members.

In the video, John explains: "After 6 months of trying to explain and persuade London Underground management that you cannot abolish 200 positions, rip up an agreement that protects our members work life balance, and their right to not have to do these {Night Tube} duties if they can't, we have to stand up and be counted."

A ballot paper is posted into a red post box

Dear RMT Member

I have today advised LUL that a dispute situation exists and that RMT will be balloting all Train Operator and Instructor Operator members for strike action and action short of a strike. The issues which remain unresolved and form this dispute are:

Protest: bring TfL cleaners in-house

Dear colleagues

  • Insource TfL's cleaners. End the corporate capture at TfL
  • Protest outside the TfL Board meeting at City Hall
  • Wednesday 4th February 9.30am City Hall, Kamal Chunchie Way, London, E16 1ZE

Last week Transport for London announced that more than 2,000 cleaners working mainly on the Tube will work for outsourcing giant Mitie for the next five years, in spite of the Mayor saying he was in favour of insourcing them.

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.

RMT secures three-year no strings pay deal on London Underground

Submitted by Admin on 5 November, 2025 - 12:52

RMT has won a three-year pay deal on the tube following strike action and sustained negotiations with the employer.

The union also managed to secure commitments addressing work-life balance among staff, including "fatigue friendly" rosters, further discussions on staff travel, and a consistent Boxing Day payment of £400.

The deal will keep pace with the Retail Price Index of inflation, protecting the value of RMT members’ wages over the next three years.

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:

Defend RMT members right to stay

Dear colleague,

Defend RMT members' right to stay - Demonstration - Wednesday 17th September 8am

On Wednesday, RMT is demonstrating outside the Home Office against recent changes introduced by the Government to the eligibility rules for the Skilled Worker Visa.

These unfair and arbitrary changes, introduced with virtually no notice mean that a number of RMT members, including some employed by TfL are now at risk of deportation when their current visas expire, which for some members is in a matter of months.
