From RMT General Secretary Bob Crow

RMT attended talks at ACAS with London Underground yesterday about Olympics working. Unfortunately, instead of going forward from the last wording agreed, management tried to change it by adding qualifications that appeared designed to tie us to agreements made by other unions. RMT could not accept this.

"instead of going forward from the last wording agreed, management tried to change it by adding qualifications that appeared designed to tie us to agreements made by other unions."

In response to RMT’s claim for a £1,000 lump sum reward for all grades, LU offered £100 CSS, £20 per shift attendance, plus £500 for drivers, £350 for other grades, nothing for admin staff.

We told management our objections, and hope that they will amend their stance accordingly so that talks can continue towards an acceptable settlement. They have stated they will forward a new wording to RMT today.
