""This deal is a clear demonstration of the effectiveness of strike action and strong negotiation by our members. "It is significant that RMT has secured a long-term RPI deal that departs from the recent industry approach of linking pay to flawed productivity discussions and measures of inflation that do not include housing costs. "More widely, RMT members will expect to see a similar approach in other parts of the transport industry. "I want to congratulate our members for this achievement, and we look forward to working with the employer in moving forward on fatigue and staff travel provision.""
"The union said at the time that the strikes follow failed demands on pay, fatigue management, shift patterns and a reduction in the working week, as well as, it says, failing to honour previous agreements made with staff."
Transport for London and the RMT reached a three-year agreement covering pay rises, working rosters, staff travel and a consistent Boxing Day payment of £400. The pay deal links increases to the Retail Price Index to protect wages against inflation, with a 3.4% increase from 1 April 2025, a second-year RPI increase from 1 April 2026 with a minimum 3% guarantee, and an RPI February 2027 plus 0.2% increase in year three. The agreement includes commitments to fatigue-friendly rosters and further discussions on staff travel. The settlement follows a week-long rolling strike that severely disrupted the London Underground.
