Dear Colleagues
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2017
ARRIVA TRAINCARE
Further to previous correspondence, the referendum of you and your colleagues has concluded with the following result:-
QUESTION: Are you prepared to accept the company’s offer?
TOTAL VOTES CAST 66
VOTING ‘YES’ 3
VOTING ‘NO’ 63
SPOILT 0
In light of the referendum result, I have written to Arriva Traincare to advise them the RMT has formally rejected their derisory pay offer. I have also advised the company that should they refuse to enter into genuine talks then the union will hold a ballot of you and your colleagues for industrial action.
Additionally, I ask that you check your details online or contact the RMT Helpline on 0800 376 3706 to ensure that our membership records are accurate.
I will keep you fully updated as new information arises.
Yours sincerely
Mick Cash
General Secretary
