Dear Colleague

 

IMPOSITION OF MERLIN SYSTEM – MITIE (NETWORK RAIL MANAGED STATIONS CONTRACT)

 

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:                 14                 

Number of votes cast in the ballot:                                                     13

Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question:                          13

Number of individuals answering “No” to the question:                           0

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:                 14                 

Number of votes cast in the ballot:                                                     13

Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question:                          12

Number of individuals answering “No” to the question:                           1

Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned:               0                  

 

The union’s National Executive Committee has considered the matter and note the above results meet the thresholds imposed due to the anti-trade union laws. The Executive Committee congratulates our members on delivering a mandate for strike action and for action short of a strike.

 

Therefore, I have been instructed to inform the company that we remain in dispute on this matter and to seek a further update report from the Lead Officer. Once I have received the update report, I will place the matter back before the Executive Committee for further consideration.

 

I trust this keeps you fully advised on the matter and I will, of course, update you on any further developments, as and when they arise.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
