Dear RMT Member, 

 

BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

RAIL FOR LONDON INFRASTRUCTURE

 

You should now have received your ballot paper for the above which was posted to you on Wednesday 12^th June. It is vital that we achieve the highest possible turnout and the highest possible vote saying YES for action to demand that the Company meets with RMT to address and resolve the issues around Roster Principles; Pay & Associated Issues and Safe Systems of Work.

 

If you have not yet returned your voting paper, then please do so now as the ballot closes on Tuesday 2^nd July 2024. If you have not yet received your voting paper, then please contact the freephone helpline on 0800 376 3706 or email info@rmt.org.uk to receive a replacement ballot paper.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE ON BALLOT THRESHOLDS

 

Since the Trade Union Act 2016, where the government made the anti-trade union laws even more restrictive, all ballots have to reach two important thresholds in order for them to be valid. 

 

• At least 50% of all eligible members must vote 
• At least 40% of all those eligible to vote must vote Yes.  

 

As a result of these draconian restrictions every single vote counts. A simple majority is no longer enough so you cannot rely on other colleagues to get the vote over the line. Therefore, I urge you to complete and return your voting paper as soon as you receive it

 

 

VOTE YES FOR STRIKE ACTION AND ACTION SHORT OF A STRIKE

 

RETURN YOUR BALLOT PAPER

 

I will keep you advised of all further developments.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch 

General Secretary
