Dear Colleague,

SMOKING ON RFA VESSELS

Further to Circular NP/328/21, dated 27th August 2021, I can report that a meeting has been set up between myself and RMT representatives and the RFA Commodore this Wednesday, 13th October, at 09.00.

Without prejudice to these discussions, I would like to have an indication of the level of support for any future ballot on some form of industrial action, should our discussions on Wednesday not bear fruit.

I would therefore be grateful if you would click on the following Survey today or tomorrow if possible (although the survey will remain open longer):

I will keep you advised of developments.

Yours sincerely

Michael Lynch
General Secretary
