Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2018 – South Western Railway

Our Ref: BR2/0001/SWR

14th January 2019

Dear Colleague,

Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2018 – South Western Railway

Further to my letter dated 18th December regarding the above, the referendum has now concluded and the result is as follows:-

Votes Cast: 746
Voting for OPTION ONE: 245
Voting for OPTION TWO: 103
Voting to REJECT BOTH OPTIONS: 398
Spoilt: 0

Noting the result, the National Executive Committee has rejected the company’s offer. South Western Railway has been informed of this decision and a meeting has been requested to seek an improved offer. If no improved offer is made, a dispute situation may exist with South Western Railway over this matter and I will of course keep you advised of all further developments.

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash
General Secretary
