Tube pay strike details announced
RMT members on London Underground will take strike action after rejecting a pay offer deemed wholly inadequate.
While some progress was made in negotiations, the current proposal leaves a large number of staff excluded from collective bargaining, which remains a core issue for the union.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said: “London Underground’s pay offer falls short of what our members deserve. It threatens to remove collective bargaining for a growing portion of staff, pushing them into pay bands that are decided solely by management. This undermines our members’ rights and the core principles of fair negotiation.
"No trade union can accept any pay proposal where management decide which of our members gets a pay rise and those who do not.
"We have repeatedly urged London Underground to offer a deal that ensures all staff are covered by collective bargaining, yet management remains fixated on imposing pay structures without our agreement.
"Our members have been left with no choice but to take strike action to defend their terms and conditions.
“We remain open to negotiations, but London Underground must come back to the table with a comprehensive, consolidated offer that respects the rights of all our members. Until then, our industrial action will continue as planned.”
