Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2024 – DB Cargo

Our Ref: BR3/0001/DBC

8^th August 2024

 

Dear Colleagues  

 

Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2024 – DB Cargo 

 

Referring to previous correspondence, the e-referendum has now concluded and the result is as follows:

 

Question: Are you prepared to accept the company’s offer?

 

Votes Cast     140                                                                                           

Voting ‘Yes’    122

Voting ‘No’     18

 

Noting the result, the National Executive Committee has instructed me to inform the company of our acceptance of the offer. This instruction has been carried out and I have requested that the increase and any back monies are paid at the earliest opportunity. For ease of reference, the accepted pay offer is as follows: 

 

• A 3.2% increase to basic pay and allowances for eligible employees effective from 1^st July 2024. 

 

This increase is not pensionable for those employees in the Railways Pension Scheme but is pensionable for those in the Defined Contribution pension scheme.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
