12^th March 2024

 

Dear Colleagues 

 

Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2023 – Rail Gourmet (Eurostar Contract)

 

The closing date for the pay ballot is Thursday 21^st March 2024, so if you haven’t done so already, now is the time to vote. Due to balloting laws I cannot stress enough how important it is that you fill in your ballot paper and return it as quickly as possible.

 

If you have not received your ballot paper please call us on 0800 376 3706 or e-mail info@rmt.org.uk as soon as possible. 

 

IMPORTANT NOTE ON BALLOT THRESHOLDS

 

Since the Trade Union Act 2016 introduced even more restrictive anti-trade union laws, all ballots must meet a threshold where at least 50% of all eligible members must vote and 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.

 

 

Yours sincerely

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
