Dear RMT Member,
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 – CAF RAIL (WALES & BORDERS)
Negotiations have been ongoing between the RMT and CAF Rail, and your negotiating team have attempted to secure a reasonable pay award for you and your colleagues. However, there has been no improvement forthcoming since the offer was rejected by members in a referendum.
The National Executive Committee has considered this matter and noted the views of your Lead Officer and representatives. Therefore, it has taken the decision to inform the company that a dispute situation now exists over this matter and to ballot members for strike action and industrial action short of a strike.
I have advised the Company accordingly and am currently making preparations to conduct the ballot. If your job title, workplace or home address has changed, please either update your details 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
