Tube: RMT wins limited gains – but what now?
The 10-11 June strike by members of the RMT union on the London Underground has won gains on all three of the fronts it addressed.
London Underground previously wanted a five-year pay deal. It shifted to offering a two-year option, and has now agreed to up it to RPI plus 1.5% in the first year (from 1%) and RPI plus 0.5% in the second.

Tubeworker s blog on Thu, 24/03/2011 - 11:57,
Tubeworker has long campaigned for our unions to fight for a four-day week. This demand is included in the RMT/TSSA/Unite pay claim for this year.
Some people say it is a pipe dream, unrealistic, utopian. But the fact is that
a four-day week is commonplace on for drivers on the mainline railway. What s good enough for the mainline should be good enough for the Tube; and what s good enough for drivers should be good enough for all grades.
