Here is a list of what LUL and TfL pay their managers. That is the same LUL that offers its staff just 1% this year and RPI+0.5% for the next 4 years, and the same TfL that has not yet even tabled an offer.
Hypocrites? Judge for yourself ...
TUBE UNION RMT today slammed senior tube bosses for “rank hypocrisy” on pay as figures from Transport For London’s annual report showed that 123 managers are now earning more than £100,000 a year.
Those same managers have been leading the assault on RMT members who have voted to strike over a five year pay deal which would almost certainly amount to a pay cut well into the next decade and over plans to impose compulsory redundancies.
This resolution, submitted by LU Fleet and Piccadilly & District West branches, was passed unanimously at the July meeting of the Regional Council.
The RMT has always taken a firm stand against privatisation and contracting out of work. We should step up our campaign for all infrastructure work, cleaning, catering and other work associated with London Underground to be integrated into LUL and the staff currently employed taken in house on LU pay and conditions.
Following the suspension of safety reps (Jim Harrington and Clive Steadman's) email facilities on London Underground, the Stations & Revenue Safety Council has produced an open letter to all Health & Safety reps. Please click on the attachment to download a copy.
ATTENDANCE
From your Regional Organiser, Steve Hedley.
Dear brothers and sisters
I feel compelled to write to you to answer some very serious distortions of the truth made not only by management but also by some members of other trade unions.
Firstly, however, I will begin by praising in the highest possible terms the ASLEF rank-and-file drivers on the Victoria line who have fought beside our members to demand safe trains, the reinstatement of sacked driver Carl Campbell and an end to management bullying on the line.
Drivers on the Bakerloo Line are shocked and angry at management's sacking of Kevin Dobinson. Kevin was summarily dismissed last Thursday.
This is the section of the General Secretary's report to the 2009 AGM concerning London Overground ...
Members Workplace Conditions, Welfare & Pay - London Overground Rail Operations Ltd
As a result of LOROL's persistent refusal to negotiate restructuring proposals with the Lead Officer and Company Council Representatives, their failure to improve facilities and progress on welfare issues and a complete breakdown in industrial relations, we balloted all LOROL members for industrial action.
The new issue of 'RMT London Calling' newsletter announces our forthcoming strike action for jobs, pay and justice, and reminds readers of the issues at the heart of the dispute.

East Ham branch is holding a recruitment and retention day, where it is hoped enough people turn up to cover all stations, depots and signal boxes in the branch's area.
We are meeting at the Barking Dog PH (outside Barking Station, turn left) for coffee at 10am, to group and then set off in pairs! to visit areas to talk to staff out and about.
