RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2018 - KEOLIS AMEY DOCKLANDS (DLR/0001/KAD)
In line with Union policy, a pay claim for an increase in pay and improved terms and conditions was submitted to the company. The Regional Organiser has met with them and the following offer has been tabled:-
RPI + 0.25% or 2% (whichever is higher) for 5 years (1st April 2018 to 1st April 2022)
RPI + 0.5% for employees with a salary under £30,000 for either the full 5 years or until they meet the £30,000 threshold
We note the report from the Lead Officer and correspondence from our Docklands Light Railway Branch; and that despite the union declaring a dispute back on the 4th October 2017, undertakings and promises made in talks by the company and prompts from our DLR Branch; that the company is disregarding our serious concerns and security issues.
This breakdown in industrial relations recklessly embarked on by the company is matched and exceeded by our members resolve to have their concerns addressed to their complete satisfaction.
TfL Pensions Fund Elections
Elections for the pensions Consultative committee
It’s that time again when there are elections for staff representatives to sit on the pensions committee to keep an eye on our money.
The voting paperwork is now out and the main thing is we need to get the right people on there with the experience and knowledge to look after our money in the proper way, and to keep an eye on what LUL and the government are trying to do with our fund.
Justice for tube cleaners !
