Dear Colleague,

Redundancies, London Underground 4LM Contract – Thales GTS

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: 74
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 40
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 28
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 11
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: 74
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 40
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 30
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 10
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 0

The vote for industrial action short of a strike meets the necessary legal thresholds but regrettably, despite members’ voting in favour of strike action, the 40% threshold is not met. The National Executive Committee is currently considering this result and I shall write to you again shortly.

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash
General Secretary
