Training opportunities from the RMT
December 18 - 22 2017
We are looking to hold a training week in London that looks at Mental Health in the workplace and society and how reps/members can support and help.
Among the topics covered will be ;
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.
RMT Tube cleaners demonstrated outside City Hall this to protest against poor pay and conditions as a result of outsourcing.
As you may or may not be aware, your station has been picked to take part in a trial which LU hopes will involve staff voluntarily wearing a red “tabard” with “Here To Help” written on the back. This trial was born out of a London Travel Watch survey which states the following. Throughout our research, it has become clear that most passengers feel that the most critical part of their journey experience relating to staff is their visibility and availability, as opposed to their location.
Post-agreement Joint Initiatives Drivers’ Dispute
The RMT met with LUL at ACAS today, October 12th, to continue talks about the post-agreement joint initiatives; Aslef reps also present. This meeting concentrated on pro-rata working, and in particular an interim proposal for 4 day a week pro-rata working.

The RMT entered into a dispute with London Underground in August as tube bosses had failed to deliver on agreements they made as a part of our 2015 pay deal.
Your union wanted to negotiate alongside Aslef but for several days they refused to share a room with us at ACAS. On one occasion they walked out early in the day so your RMT negotiators where left to meet with management separately to push for a resolution. It was only at the final stage that both the RMT and Aslef met management collectively.
The RMT has secured the following offers at ACAS:
