RMT official circulars

Dear RMT Member,

4-DAY WORKING WEEK & TRAINS FUNCTIONAL COUNCIL REPRESENTATION - LONDON UNDERGROUND

RMT previously agreed to LUL's request for a period of 7-10 weeks to finalise its proposed new framework agreement for working conditions that would apply to compressed working. Regrettably, the extended period has not resulted in any resolution of our concerns in this dispute.

STATION STAFFING - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/5)

The Lead Officer has reported that LUL still continues to seek to reorganise and reduce headcount across stations. RMT members took strike action in 2023 under the Defending Jobs & Agreements dispute which was resolved at the time in terms of the impact on stations but since that time, we have experienced a failure to fill vacancies at the same time as passenger levels now exceeding pre-covid period at times, which has led to a chronic state of understaffing on stations and in the revenue department.

Dear Colleagues,

4-DAY WORKING WEEK & TRAINS FUNCTIONAL COUNCIL REPRESENTATION - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/0004)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/243/26, 8th July 2026), the ballot has now closed and the result is as follows:

Are you prepared to take strike action?

Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot: 1719

Number of votes cast in the ballot:                                                      1050

Dear RMT Member,

4-DAY WORKING WEEK & TRAINS FUNCTIONAL COUNCIL REPRESENTATION LONDON UNDERGROUND

You should now have received and returned your ballot paper for the above which was posted to you on Tuesday 14th July. It is vital that we achieve the highest possible turnout and the highest possible vote saying YES for action to demand that the unacceptable compressed working week is not imposed and to demand equality of representation in the trains function.

Dear RMT Member

4-DAY WORKING WEEK & TRAINS FUNCTIONAL COUNCIL REPRESENTATION - LONDON UNDERGROUND

As you know, the strike action which had been scheduled for last week was suspended to allow further negotiations in obtaining clarity on what management's position is on protecting those drivers who do not wish to accept new terms and conditions to enter into the compressed four-day week arrangements.

Action Against Assaults campaign 

RMT public transport members like you and your colleagues are facing unacceptable levels of violence and abuse at work. 
That’s why RMT launched its Action Against Assaults campaign – to tackle violence and abuse on public transport and demand employers take action to keep you safe at work.

Dear RMT Member,

Rates of Pay & Conditions of Service 2025 - London Underground

The second year of the pay deal is a 3.6% increase (based on the February 2026 RPI rate), effective from 1st April 2026. However, your Lead Officer was advised late on Tuesday, by LUL, that this increase is not expected to be paid to members until late July.
