Our Ref: BR2/0004
8th September 2015
Dear Colleague,
Reduction in the Working Week, Guards/Commercial Guards – South West Trains
With reference to the above and previous correspondence the result of the referendum was as follows:-
Total Votes Cast 558
Number Voting to Accept 89
Number Voting to Reject 468
Spoilt 1
I shall be writing to the company advising them of the rejection and that our Guards and Commercial Guards members do not feel the proposal were at all acceptable or meet their aspirations.
The General Grades Committee has asked me to arrange a meeting of all our Guards Company Council representatives, LDC representatives and are also seeking a report from the Lead Officer before considering the matter further. It is hoped that this meeting will take place on 30th September after which I will write to you again.
Yours sincerely,
Mick Cash
General Secretary
