BUYING AND SELLING HOLIDAYS POLICY – ALSTOM METRO TRAINS (LUL/7/1)

The Lead Officer recently submitted a report enclosing a policy document received from the Company over the concept of buying and selling annual leave entitlement on a voluntary basis. This matter has been considered by the National Executive Committee, which has reiterated that this Union strongly opposes any form of holiday purchase schemes because all workers should be entitled to a living wage and quality time away from work and should not have to trade one off against the other.

The Company will therefore be informed of our strong opposition to any selling of leave entitlements.
