Dear RMT Member,

 

RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2023-2024 – BALFOUR BEATTY RAIL PLANT

 

Referring to previous correspondence, your Lead Officer has been engaged in consultation with affected members and your representatives to seek views on the company’s ‘best and final’ offer. For reference, the offer is:

 

• A 6% increase on basic rates applicable from 1^st January 2023
• A 4% increase on basic rates applicable from 1^st January 2024

 

Having carefully considered the offer, the union’s National Executive Committee has instructed me to hold an e-referendum of you and your colleagues so that you can have your say on it. Members are advised that a rejection of this offer will lead to an immediate ballot for strike action and action short of a strike.

 

The referendum will close at 10:00 am on Thursday 22^nd February 2024.

 

Referendum Instructions

 

Members will shortly receive an email from 'RMT Referenda' which will allow you to register your vote. Please follow the instructions and make sure you complete this by no later than 10:00 am on Thursday 22^nd February 2024.

 

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR VOTE

 

If you know of any member who has not received their voting email or if you are having any difficulties voting, please contact referenda@rmt.org.uk or the RMT Helpline on 0800 376 3706.
