RMT has asked for the paid release of all representatives. Whether the company agrees or declines this, the union asks representatives to nevertheless make every effort they can to attend in their own time if needs must as your views are important to us.
Dear colleagues,
Having listened carefully to your representatives on 6th July 2009, it was unanimously felt that London Underground's offer in regards to pay did not meet our aspirations. More importantly, LUL were still refusing to abide by cast iron agreements on no compulsory redundancies and breaking other agreements.

Dear Colleague,
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2009, REDUNDANCIES AND BREACH OF AGREEMENTS - LUL
DISPUTE UPDATE
On behalf of the General Grades Committee, I would firstly wish to congratulate members and representatives on London Underground for their continuing unity which delivered a strong and successful strike last month.
Bob Crow, RMT General Secretary, said:
“Transport workers in London will look at Boris Johnson’s claim that £250,000 a year for moonlighting in a second job is “chickenfeed” and wonder just what planet he’s living on.
“Our members working as cleaners on London Underground, who have been denied the London Living Wage that was promised them by Boris Johnson, will be especially angry when they are out there doing dirty jobs for little more than six pounds an hour.
