Dear RMT Member,
RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2023 – ALSTOM TRANSPORT SERVICES (AVANTI WEST COAST)
I write to advise you that the ballot has now closed and the result is as follows:-
Are you prepared to take strike action?
Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot: 189
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 110
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 76
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 33
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 1
Are you prepared to take industrial action short of a strike?
Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot: 189
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 110
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 98
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 12
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 0
Both of the above results meet the thresholds imposed due the anti-trade union laws and the National Executive Committee has congratulated members on delivering a mandate for strike action and action short of a strike.
I shall write to you again shortly.
Yours sincerely
Michael Lynch
