Dear RMT Member
ROSTERING ARRANGEMENTS – SB RAIL (SWIETELSKY & BABCOCK RAIL)
The referendum of you and your colleagues over the company’s offer of a one-off payment of £1500 to resolve this dispute has concluded and the result is as follows:
Do you accept the company’s offer?
Total votes cast 45
Number voting YES 28
Number voting NO 17
To remind your, this payment was forall affected employees in exchange for the removal of the night shift to day shift payment clause. There will be no other changes to terms and conditions.
Your union’s National Executive Committee has considered the matter and instructed me to therefore advise the company of our acceptance. Your NEC and I would also like to put on record our thanks to you and your colleagues for standing firm and showing determination to achieve an acceptable resolution to this dispute. It was this determination that saw an offer more than double from what the company was previously prepared to agree.
Yours sincerely
Michael Lynch
General Secretary
