Dear RMT Member,

 

IMPOSITION OF ROSTERS, NEWCASTLE OVERHEAD LINE DEPARTMENT, NORTH EAST ROUTE – NETWORK RAIL MAINTENANCE

 

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:             18

Number of votes cast in the ballot:                                                      18

Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question:                       18        

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:             18

Number of votes cast in the ballot:                                                      18        

Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question:                       18        

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

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

 

I will keep you advised of all further developments.
