RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2023 – COLAS RAIL

Our Ref: BR4/0001/CR

 

28th April 2023

 

Dear RMT Member

 

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2023  – COLAS RAIL

 

The referendum of you and your colleagues over the company revised pay offer has concluded and the result is as follows:

 

Question: Do you accept the company’s offer?

 

Total votes cast202

Number voting YES115

Number voting NO87

 

To remind you, the offer that you and your colleagues voted on was as follows:

 

A 7% increase in basic salaries, effective from 1st April 2023

Increase in allowances which are percentage based, such as contracts with rostered nights, weekends, on‐call, etc., as well as the OTM additional weekend payments.

 

Your union’s National Executive Committee has noted the result and that the majority of members who have participated in the referendum have voted to accept the offer.

 

This improved offer, of course, was only secured through the determination of you and your colleague in taking strike action over three separate weekends which forced management back round the table to hold proper negotiations. 

 

This therefore resolves pay negotiations for 2023 and I have written to the company to request that they implement the new pay rates as soon as possible.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
