Dear Colleagues,

 

Railways Pension Scheme (RPS) – Network Rail Section Appointment of Members’ appointee

 

 

Please be advised that that a ballot amongst all active (contributing) members, pensioners and preserved pensioners of the Network Rail Section of the RPS will shortly take place in respect of the Members appointee position on the Network Rail Pensions Committee. 

 

The current Member appointee is Dave Gott who has held this position since 2005 and while this seat on the Pensions Committee is a non-trade union seat, as the RMT and sister unions already have representation on the committee, the RMT are content to advise you that Dave Gott is our preferred candidate.

 

Dave over the years has brought to the committee a great deal of pensions experience and knowledge so it is important that for continuity purposes and protecting all members benefits that Dave’s experience is not lost.

 

Nominations are for this position are due to close on 28^th March 2025 so it expected ballot papers will be sent out shortly after this date.

 

In the event of branch members receiving a ballot paper we would encourage them to vote for Dave Gott.

 

I will keep you updated on developments.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Eddie Dempsey

General Secretary
