Strike Rally on Tuesday 23rd January @ 12pm, Manchester

 

Your ballot paper will be posted to your home address tomorrow regarding our dispute over pay, the ‘timegate’ system and normal rostered hours. To highlight these issues, a strike rally has been organised to take place on Tuesday 23rdJanuary from 12.00 to 16.00 hours at Carlisle Support Services Headquarters, 83 Fountain street, Manchester M2 2EE.

 

Your Regional Organiser Steve Shaw will be present and I would urge all members to make every effort to attend. Should you require any further details please contact Steve on   07986412371, or by emailing s.shaw@rmt.org.uk.

 

Please make sure you complete and return your ballot paper in the freepost envelope provided as soon as you receive it. In the ballot you will be asked to vote for both strike action and industrial action short of a strike – I urge you to vote ‘YES’ to both.
