Dear RMT Member, 

 

Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2024 – Alstom Metro Trains

 

Further to my letter dated 29^th May, the Company has now confirmed that its ‘best and final’ offer in respect of the above is as follows:

 

• A 4% increase to basic rates of pay, backdated to 1^st April 2024

 

• Annual Leave Year changed from April to March, to January to December. Pre-booked holidays will be honoured along with pro-rata calculations during the transition year

 

• Assistance with travel costs up to £1612 for an annual season ticket, subject to conditions

 

The National Executive Committee has considered a report received from your Lead Officer and has instructed me to conduct an e-referendum of you and your colleagues with a recommendation to vote ‘NO’ to reject the offer. I must also advise you that a rejection of the offer will likely lead to a dispute with the Company.

 

The on-line referendum will close on at 10am on Thursday 20^th June 2024.

Members will shortly receive an email from ‘RMT Referenda’ which will allow you to register your vote. Please follow the instructions and make sure you complete this by no later than 10:00 hours on Thursday 20^th June 2024.
