Tube staff should get priority access to affordable homes built by TfL, RMT union demands
Briefly

The Tube union is advocating for priority access to new housing developments for London Underground staff, categorizing them as essential workers similarly to during the pandemic. With Transport for London collaborating on housing projects, such as 300 homes near High Barnet station, the RMT union stresses the need for social housing availability for its members. Additionally, they are seeking a pay increase for 2025, highlighting the financial struggles of workers since 2020. Meanwhile, TfL plans to discuss salary arrangements and aims to bolster housing development efforts in London.
The union argues that transport workers, deemed essential during the pandemic, deserve priority access to social housing projects by TfL to support their roles in keeping London operational.
RMT's call emphasizes that London Underground staff should have first dibs on affordable housing developments linked with Transport for London, ensuring their work-life balance remains manageable.
