London Underground employees have actually provided a fresh required for strike activity while pay talks proceed.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) elected by greater than 9-1 in favour of doing something about it if required over the following 6 months.
No strike days have actually been introduced however the union claimed it is eager to safeguard a boosted deal on pay.
The RMT claimed as a result of adjustments to pay bands, not all participants would certainly be qualified to the very same portion rise which was “wholly unacceptable”.
General assistant Mick Lynch claimed: “Our members on London Underground are sending a clear message to management that they will not put up with substandard pay offers or any attempt to treat members unequally in any pay deal.
“We are always willing to find solutions to industrial relations issues, but our members will not tolerate an imposition of any pay deal where members are not being treated equally or fairly.”
A Transport for London agent claimed: “We are disappointed that the RMT has balloted London Underground employees over pay and conditions.
“We have held a number of constructive discussions with our trade unions and have presented a pay offer. We are still considering their feedback to the offer and will continue to work with the unions to ensure that we reach a fair agreement for our hardworking colleagues that is also affordable and delivers for London.
“It would be in everyone’s best interest to continue to discuss this without the threat of strike action, so we can work together to support London and the wider UK economy.”
