Dear RMT SE Trains Member,

 

DEFEND JOBS, PAY AND CONDITIONS - SE TRAINS

 

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:        1496                

Number of votes cast in the ballot:                                                    975      

Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question:                  862      

Number of individuals answering “No” to the question:                    110      

Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned:      3          

 

Are you prepared to take industrial action short of a strike?

 

Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot:        1496    

Number of votes cast in the ballot:                                                    975      

Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question:                  917      

Number of individuals answering “No” to the question:                    52        

Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned:      6          

 

Both of the above results meet the thresholds imposed due the anti-trade union laws and the National Executive Committee has congratulated members on delivering a mandate for strike action and action short of a strike. 

 

I shall write to you again shortly. 

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
