Dear Colleagues

DISMISSAL - T RAYNER – SIGNALLER – NETWORK RAIL

I want to take this opportunity to thank you and your colleagues for your unwavering support for Tony Rayner who has been so disgracefully dismissed by Network Rail. The industrial action that has been taken since September has been rock solid and is having a real and significant effect. Managers are being utilised to plug the gaps caused by the overtime ban which has drastically affected their own work.

It is abundantly clear that signalling staff at Swindon and TVSC find the treatment of Brother Rayner totally unacceptable. Despite our being fully prepared to enter talks to resolve the matter, the company have continued to refuse our demands for Tony’s reinstatement. As a result the  General Grades Committee has decided to call further industrial action which is as follows: -   

All Signalling members at Swindon A and Thames Valley Signalling Centre are instructed not to work any Overtime between: -
    
•    0001 hours Monday 26th October 2015 until 23.59 hours on Friday 30th October 2015
And  
•    0001 hours Monday 2nd November 2015 until 23.59 hours on Friday 6th November  2015.

Thank you for your continued solidarity and determination to see justice done for Tony Rayner.  I urge you and your colleagues to keep it up by supporting the next overtime bans.

SUPPORT THE ACTION
UNITY IS STRENGTH
Yours sincerely
 
Mick Cash
General Secretary
