RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 – COLAS RAIL

13^th August 2024

 

Dear RMT Member,

 

RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 – COLAS RAIL

 

The referendum of you and your colleagues over the company’s pay offer has concluded and the result is as follows:

 

Do you accept the company’s offer?

Total votes cast                       245

Number voting YES                 131

Number voting NO                  114

 

For reference, the accepted offer is:

• 4.6% increase in basic salaries with effect from 1^st April 2024.
• Increase in allowances which are percentage based, such as contracts with rostered nights, weekends, on-call etc. As well as the OTM additional weekend payments.

 

In addition to the above, the company agreed to remove the item of Per Diem payments to allow for appropriate discussion via the machinery of negotiation, as requested by members.

 

Your union’s National Executive Committee has considered the matter and instructed me to advise the company of our acceptance and request that the increase is implemented at the earliest opportunity, inclusive of back pay. I trust that this keeps you advised.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
