LUL: prepare to fight on pay

Part of the funding settlement agreed between the Department for Transport and TfL says that future pay awards must “follow public sector pay policy.”

LU pay: start the fight early!

Our pay deal on London Underground expires in April 2023. Our fight to get a decent settlement will be stronger and more effective if we start it as early as possible.

Organise against TfL pay insult

TfL has offered a 3% pay increase to centrally-employed staff (i.e., those who don’t work for London Underground or similar subsidiaries), backdated to April 2022.*

Brandon Lewis: so close to getting it...

"Inflation busting"?

Wot No Back Pay?!

We were due a new pay settlement in April 2019. Consequently we're now all owed more than a year's back pay, following the agreement of a new deal in late March, amounting to RPI+0.2% for four years (2.7% in year one).
