Submitted by Admin on 15 January, 2026 - 19:42

Dear RMT member,

RMT CONTRIBUTION RATES FOR 2026

Like most things, the cost of providing you with the benefits of RMT membership increases every year and, in most cases, will result in an increase in your contributions to help us maintain and improve those benefits and our services to members.

With the announcement of the September 2025 RPI (4.5%), having considered the Union's income, expenditure, and membership levels, the full contribution rate will increase by 26p per week (4.5%) to £5.97 per week.

RMT resolution on Tube cleaners wages during LU industrial action

Submitted by Admin on 7 November, 2025 - 18:41

NON-PAYMENT OF WAGES DURING LU INDUSTRIAL ACTION, CLEANERS - ABM (LU CONTRACT) (LUL/9/18)

The following resolution has been received from the London Transport Regional Council:

“This branch notes: - on the week of 7th to 11th September when the LU strikes were on, ABM cleaners were not able to work at their designated stations - as a result our managers decided to list us as absent and not pay us.

This branch believes: - this is totally unfair and cleaners should've been paid - if there's not work out there for them it's not their fault.

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.
