TSSA: final offer in London “falls well short”

The TSSA union has held further pay talks with Transport for London (TfL) and Rail for London (infrastructure) (RfLi), in a one-off joint meeting. All future talks will now be held separately.

TfL and RfLi) tabled what they say is a “final offer” on base pay. This is a 4% increase backdated to

April, and a 4.4% increase from April 2023.

However, the TSSA said this “falls well short” of its claim for a multi-year deal with an increase that at least matches inflation.

It said that it also fails to guarantee a minimum pay increase and is offering only non-pensionable one-off payments to many staff.

TSSA adds that alongside this is the threat to pensions, with Transport for London due to respond to the Government about proposed changes to its pension scheme by September 27 (as this issue of RAIL went to press).
