Do you accept the company’s offer?

For reference, the accepted offer is:
- A 4.9% pay award with an underpin of £1,650 to be applied to basic salary plus agreed allowances to be backdated to 1st March 2024.
- A 6-month period of no compulsory redundancies, within Rail Operations subject to redeployment options.

Your union’s National Executive Committee has considered the matter and instructed me to advise the company of our acceptance and request that the increase is implemented at the earliest opportunity, inclusive of back pay. I trust that this keeps you advised.
Yours sincerely
