Dear Colleagues,

DB REGIO (TYNE & WEAR METRO
I write to advise you that the ballot of members has now concluded and the result is as follows: -
Are you prepared to take strike action?
Total Votes Cast 125
Number Voting ‘Yes’ 114
Number Voting ‘No’ 11
Spoilt Papers 0
Are you prepared to take industrial action short of a strike?
Total Votes Cast 125
Number Voting ‘Yes’ 121
Number Voting ‘No’ 3
Spoilt Papers 1
The result is being considered by your Executive Committee, however, I must bring to your attention that this ballot result is for the pay offer made to your negotiating team in May 2015.
I am aware that a revised offer has been tabled and it will be considered by your Executive Committee in the very near future and I will keep you advised of further developments.
Yours sincerely
Mick Cash
General Secretary
