Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2023 – Royal Fleet Auxiliary

Our Ref: SH/0001/RFA

29^th January 2024

 

Dear Colleagues 

 

Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2023 – Royal Fleet Auxiliary 

 

The ballot for industrial action over the company’s inadequate pay offer is well under way and it is vital that we achieve the highest possible turnout so that we can meet the thresholds demanded by the current strict anti-union legislation. 

 

I urge you to vote ‘YES’ for strike action in overwhelming numbers to show the RFA that you will not accept such a low pay award. RFA seafarers do an incredibly important job and deserve to be rewarded with decent pay rises that reflect the cost-of-living crisis that all workers are facing.

 

If you have not yet returned your voting paper, then please do so as a matter of urgency as the ballot closes on Tuesday 9^th April 2024. If you have not yet received your voting paper, then please contact the RMT freephone helpline immediately on 0800 376 3706 or email info@rmt.org.uk to receive a replacement ballot paper.

 

Yours sincerely

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
