To all RMT members in LUL:

Pay and Night Tube update

Today and earlier this week on Monday I met LUL directors, with our senior reps to discuss and negotiate on pay 2015 and night tube arrangements.

Once again no new offer was made.

As members will know LUL have so far tabled an offer of:

Pay
.. This is effectively a pay cut

2015 ...0.75%
2016.....RPI

Night tube

Unions in TfL are making concerted efforts to schedule pay talks with TfL management, although no dates have yet been confirmed.

Over the last two weeks TfL Unions have held over twenty well-attended workplace meetings on pay across TfL, with more still to take place in the London Transport Museum and Dial-A-Ride. Feedback from members and non-members at these meetings tells us that the key aspects of this year’s pay talks are:

• A negotiated, consolidated pay rise for all employees
• Pay comparability across all parts of TfL
  

Sodexo secured 3 year contract extension with TfL with staffing structure changes taking effect on 1st July 2015; before those changes come in place, Sodexo plans:

• Enter into formal consultation with all staff on 1st May 2015;
• Between 1st May and 30th June Sodexo will announce, notify and consult with all Affected Staff;

In line with Union policy, a claim was submitted for a substantial increase in rates of pay and improvements to conditions of service. Following discussions with the Company, a report was received from the Lead Officer along with further correspondence from the Branch Secretary, advising that the Company has failed to resolve several issues which have been outstanding for many months.
