Dear RMT Member
Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2024 – Wilts & Dorset (Engineering Grades)
Further talks have taken place with the Company and while an improved offer was made for Cleaner Grades and Shunter Grades, the Company advised it cannot improve the offer for you and your colleagues in Engineering Grades.
The National Executive Committee has considered a report from your Lead Officer and has taken the decision to ballot all Engineering Grades members for strike action and action short of strike in the form of an overtime and rest day working ban.
I am currently making the necessary preparations to conduct this ballot. In the meantime, if your job title, workplace or home address details have changed, please update them using e-Membership at www.rmt.org.uk, e-mail info@rmt.org.uk or call the RMT freephone helpline on 0800 376 3706.
I will keep you advised of all further developments.
Yours sincerely
Michael Lynch
General Secretary
