Dear Colleagues,

The Regional Organiser submitted a report advising that Cleshar has made an offer of a 3% increase in base pay rates from April 2023, with any further increases subject to productivity gains. Discussions are continuing with the Company but, at this time, the Regional Organiser recommends that the offer be formally rejected, and the Company be informed of this position.

Dear Colleagues,

DEFEND JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/052/23. 28th February 2023), a resolution has been received from our Hammersmith & City Branch, regarding the imposition of new rosters. The Company has not properly consulted our Reps over these rosters which are unworkable, and members wish to fight back against the detrimental effect these cuts will have, including on their work/life balance.
