RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/0001)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/179/25, 14th May 2025), I advised LUL of the dispute situation over breaches of the 2023 and 2024 agreements and the failure to table a 2025 pay offer. Talks with the Company took place on Wednesday 28th May but no pay offer was forthcoming. LUL also stated that a reduction in the working week is not on the table, there is no progress on the extension of Priv travel and no proposal regarding converting any banded salary range into a spot salary.

Dear RMT Member

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 - LONDON UNDERGROUND

RMT continues to press LUL to address our 2025 pay claim. The anniversary date for our pay deal is 1st April, yet management has only now agreed to even met us. The meeting will take place on 28 May, two months after you should have received the pay rise.

RMT will demand that LUL acts urgently to make good on the parts of our previous pay deals that the company has failed to deliver.
