Overwhelming Rejection Of Tubelines Offer

WITHDRAWAL OF REST DAYS, TRACK & CIVILS STAFF – TUBELINES (AP JNP) (LUL/8/6)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/081/15, 23rd March 2015), the referendum has concluded with members voting as follows:-

Question: Are you prepared to accept the Company’s offer?

Total Votes Cast… 46
Number Voting ‘Yes’… 7
Number Voting ‘No’… 39
Spoilt Papers… 0

This matter has been considered by the General Grades Committee, which has noted the referendum result to reject the proposals including the loss of rostered rest days, and taken the decision to conduct a ballot for strike action and action short of a strike amongst our affected members. I am currently acting in accordance with this decision and will keep Branches advised of all further developments.
