Dear Colleagues 

 

Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2023 – Arriva Rail London

 

Firstly, I would like to congratulate you for returning a magnificent result in the recent ballot. You have given your union a mandate to push forward in this dispute. Noting the ballot result, your union’s National Executive Committee has considered the matter once more and it is calling all Arriva Rail London members take the following strike action: 

 

Members are be instructed not to book on for any shifts that commence between:

 

• 00:01 hours on Monday 19^th February 2024 and 23:59 hours on Tuesday 20^th February 2024 
• 00:01 hours on Monday 4^th March 2024 and 23:59 hours on Tuesday 5^th March 2024

 

Let’s hope that this action will focus management’s minds and get them back round the table to resolve this matter. Management probably believe that you are not prepared to stand up and fight on this issue, it is time to prove them wrong.

 

A decision has also been made to organise a protest outside of Palestra House (197 Blackfriars Rd, London SE1 8NJ) on Tuesday 20^th February 2024 following the morning picket lines. Full details of the protest will be sent to members in due course and I would encourage you all to attend this important event.  

 

STAND FIRM TOGETHER

AND SUPPORT THE INDUSTRIAL ACTION

 

I will, of course, keep you fully advised on any further developments.

 

Yours sincerely

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
