Dear Colleagues
Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2024 – Carlisle Support Services (Arriva Rail London Cleaning Contract)
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: 92
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 54
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 54
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 0
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 0
Are you prepared to take industrial action short of a strike?
Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot: 92
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 54
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 52
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 0
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 2
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 ballot mandate for strike action and action short of a strike.
I will keep you advised of all further developments.
Yours sincerely
Michael Lynch
General Secretary
