Talks with London Underground management on our 2019 pay claim will resume at the conciliation service ACAS, next Wednesday June 19th.
ASLEF and the other three recognised unions have rejected the previous offer of a two year deal of a 2.6% rise for this year and RPI plus 0.2% in 2020.
We do not believe that this offer on pay is good enough. Nor has there been any movement on the non-pay elements of our claim, like a reduction in working hours, improving travel benefits or increasing Boxing Day payments.
ASLEF goes into these talks ready and willing to try and reach a fair agreement. But our members want to see real movement, not vague promises.
A report will be sent out after the meeting on Wednesday.
