RMT Accepts Three-Year TfL Pay Deal for London Underground Staff

The package ties pay to RPI and adds roster and Boxing Day measures as TfL consults other unions.

Overview

  • RMT agreed a three-year offer that lifts pay by 3.4% in year one, then by next February’s RPI in year two and February 2027 RPI plus 0.2% in year three, according to TfL.
  • The agreement includes fatigue-friendly rosters, further talks on staff travel, and a £400 payment for those working on Boxing Day, the union said.
  • TfL said no changes to working hours are included, after the union had previously pushed for a shorter week during the dispute.
  • RMT leader Eddie Dempsey called the settlement proof that strike action delivered RPI-linked increases, while TfL described the deal as fair and affordable.
  • TfL is engaging Aslef, Unite and TSSA on the same multi-year offer, following September strikes that disrupted Tube and DLR services and were estimated by CEBR to cost at least £230m.
