Dear Colleague

 

DEFEND RAIL JOBS, PAY AND PENSIONS – WHAT THE PAY FREEZE WILL MEAN FOR YOU

 

As you will be aware the RMT National Executive Committee has recently taken a decision that sets the Union up for a campaign across Network Rail and the majority of Train Operating Companies (predominately those England-based TOCs who come under the umbrella of the Rail Industry Recovery Group) on members’ pay, jobs, conditions and pensions.

 

The Union will be sending regular communications and updates to all relevant members. Today members will receive the attached message via email and text. The message sets out how the Scrooge rail bosses make a fortune, but the pay freeze means rail workers are set to lose thousands of pounds. The table attached demonstrates how workers could be affected by the pay freeze.

 

Campaign resources are available on the website here and further updates will continue to be posted on this page. Please share this information with your members and on social media.

 

I will continue to keep you updated on this important campaign.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
