Dear RMT Member,
ANNUAL LEAVE ENTITLEMENT, TRAIN MANAGERS, HOLYHEAD - AVANTI WEST COAST
I write to advise you that the ballot has now closed, and the result is as follows: -
Are you prepared to take strike action?
Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot: 26
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 16
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 9
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 7
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 0
Are you prepared to take industrial action short of a strike?
Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot: 26
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 16
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 16
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 0
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 0
The above result for strike action fails to meet the anti-trade union threshold on individuals answering yes to the question. However, action short of a strike has met the required thresholds. The Union’s National Executive Committee is currently considering this result, and I shall write to you again shortly.
Yours sincerely
Eddie Dempsey
General Secretary
