Dear Colleagues
Rates of Pay & Conditions of Service 2014 – Cross Country Trains (Cleaners)
Further to previous correspondence, the referendum in respect of the above has concluded and the result is as follows:-
Question: Are you prepared to accept the Company’s offer?
Total Votes Cast 30
Number Voting ‘Yes’ 15
Number Voting ‘No’ 15
Spoilt Papers 0
Noting the result, the union’s executive committee instructed me to arrange an urgent meeting with Cross Country to discuss this matter. I can now report that a meeting was held with the company on 20th November 2014. At the meeting, management confirmed that their two year pay deal represented their final offer and they stated that “[Cross Country] will make no further movement on this offer”.
Noting this development, the union’s executive committee has decided to convene a meeting with your representatives to discuss the referendum result and the response from the company. I will, of course, keep you fully advised on developments following the conclusion of this meeting.
Yours sincerely
Mick Cash
General Secretary
