Dear RMT Member

 

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2024 – ROYAL FLEET AUXILIARY

 

Your fight for pay justice continues this week with strike action scheduled for Thursday 1st August 2024. For ease of reference, the strike action is as follows: 

 

  • If your ship is in port DO NOT TURN TO for any duty that commences between 00:01 hours and 23:59 hours on Thursday 1st August 2024.

 

NB:  During the above period of strike action members must ensure that the safety of the ship is maintained, including Moorings and Gangways, at all times.

 

The action you have taken so far in this campaign has been rock solid and I know this action will have 100% support also. I can also say that this campaign is having a major effect on the RFA itself and having an impact much wider. Unfortunately, we still have not seen a new offer coming in for you and your colleagues, but I am sure that with an extra push the employers will be forced back round the table and come up with an improved package.

 

I would urge all members, wherever they can, to show up on the picket lines on Thursday, and the details are as follows:

 

Portland Port - 08.00 to 15.00. Contact: Mark Carden (07733335355)

Plymouth/Devonport Albert Gate - 08.30 to 15.00. Contact: Ian Boyle (07983086496)

Darwin Port Australia  

RFA Argus/RFA Lyme Bay Gangways - 08.00 local time. Contact: Shaun Hennessy (07843227535) & Gareth Jameson (07730201050)

Camell Lairds RFA ships gangways - 07.30 to 15.00. Contact: Ian Parkin (07878747877) & Matt Rowberry (07765941191)

 

SUPPORT THE ACTION!

SUPPORT YOUR UNION!

FIGHT FOR PAY JUSTICE!

 

Yours sincerely
