Our Ref: BR3/16/3

29th November 2018

Dear Colleagues,

Redundancies due to Proposed Relocation of Finance Share Services Centre (FSSC) & Procurement Centres – Freightliner.

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: 19
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 8 Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 4
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 4
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: 19
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 8
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 6
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 2
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 0

Regrettably this ballot result does not meet the thresholds as required by law. By law 50% of the total members eligible must cast a vote, and 40% of all those eligible must vote in favour of action.

The National Executive Committee is currently considering this result and I shall write to you again shortly.

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash
General Secretary
