RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 – FIRST SOUTH WEST

Our Ref: B/0001/FSW

14th March 2024

Dear RMT Member,

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 – FIRST SOUTH WEST

Your RMT Reps have met with the Company to discuss this years’ claim for a substantial increase in rates of pay, with no strings, no changes to terms and conditions and a one-year deal.

Following these meetings, the Company offered a 2% increase. Your Lead Officer reports that members have expressed disappointment and frustration with the offer which has been described as inadequate and derisory. It is not in line with members’ aspirations, it will not assist with recruitment and retention and nor does it recognise the important and valuable contributions from you and your colleagues.

The National Executive Committee has now considered this matter and noted that this is not the full and final offer from the Company. The offer has been rejected and further talks are due to take place on Thursday 4th April.

I will keep you advised of all further developments. 

Yours sincerely

Michael Lynch
General Secretary
