Dear RMT Member

 

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 – BRIGGS MARINE (SHEERNESS)

 

Please see below a message from RMT National Secretary Darren Procter:

 

“Dear colleagues

 

I am writing to update you on negotiations between your employer and your union regarding rates of pay and terms and conditions for 2024.  We were due to meet your employer several weeks ago but due to unforeseen circumstances this meeting did not take place.

 

I have been in dialogue with your employer and we are seeking to get a meeting in the diary for mid-July to discuss our submission for an increase in pay and improved terms and conditions.

 

Once we have a confirmed date for this meeting, we will write to update you further, but I acknowledge your frustration at the delay in negotiations.

 

All members should notify those colleagues who are not currently a member of the RMT that only members of RMT will have an input as to whether the company's proposal is acceptable and in order to develop collective strength at your workplace all members should be encouraging all employees covered by the recognition agreement to join RMT.

 

As your lead officer and National Secretary, I will be organising a workplace visit in late July to meet members and discuss wider issues of concern for you and your colleagues.

 

Best Regards

 

Darren Procter

National Secretary”

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
