Dear Colleagues
Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2024 – Eurostar International Ltd
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 462
Voting ‘Yes’ 394
Voting ‘No’ 68
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 general increase of 4.3% on salary and all allowances as of 1st May 2024. All new starters from 1st January 2024 who are not RFJ roles will be excluded from the 2024 pay award.
- An increase of 4.3% to our current home to work travel arrangements. In addition, jointly work with ATOC to prepare a robust business case for increasing current Eurostar benefits.
- The next UK pay review will be 1st January 2025. A programme of pay discussions will commence as from October 2024.
I can also confirm that Eurostar has given your union a guarantee that maintenance will remain in-house.
Yours sincerely
Michael Lynch
General Secretary
