RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 – PULLMAN RAIL

Our Ref: BR4/0001/PR

 

20^th August 2024

 

Dear Colleague,

 

RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 – PULLMAN RAIL

 

Your negotiating team have been involved in ongoing pay discussions with your employer in order to secure a reasonable pay increase for 2024. However, despite the union’s best efforts, Pullman Rail has failed to offer you and your colleagues a fair pay award, instead presenting a series of derisory, below-inflation increases that do not reflect the value of your essential work.

 

The latest pay proposals from the company were unanimously rejected by members, however the company has still failed to meaningfully engage in discussion with your Union.   Your National Executive Committee has considered the matter and it has concluded that Pullman Rail’s intransigence is intolerable, and therefore you and your colleagues will be balloted for industrial action.

 

Ballot papers will be despatched by the independent scrutineer next Tuesday 27^th August 2024 and will arrive at your home address after this date.

 

I urge you not to waste your vote and to vote 'YES' for strike action and 'YES' for industrial action short of a strike, when your ballot arrives, and to return it as quickly as possible.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
