Rest Day Working Dynamic Payments – Abellio Scotrail

Our Ref: BR2/0146

25th September 2018

Dear Colleagues,

Rest Day Working Dynamic Payments – Abellio Scotrail

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: 2204
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 1152
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 860
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 284
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 8

Although members have voted in favour of action, this result does not meet the legal requirements where 40% of all members that are eligible to vote, must vote in favour of action.

Are you prepared to take industrial action short of a strike?

Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot: 2204
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 1152
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 1077
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 73
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 2

This meets the 40% threshold.

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

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash
General Secretary
