London Underground train drivers have been granted a 4.6 percent pay increase with no conditions attached, following negotiations with the Labour mayor Sadiq Khan and the RMT union. This pay rise is more than double the current rate of inflation and could lead to a four-day working week for drivers.
London Underground train drivers were today handed inflation-busting pay hikes after Labour mayor Sadiq Khan caved in to union barons’ demands.
And drivers may also soon be allowed to work a four-day week if there is a breakthrough in separate talks with the Aslef rail union. Sadiq Khan has been accused of caving into union barons’ demands with today's inflation-busting pay hikes Aslef, which also represents Underground drivers, called off two strikes this month after Transport for London said it was willing to allow them to work a four-day working week.If on-going talks are successful then the deal will also apply to RMT drivers.
