Dear Colleague

 

USE OF AGENCY STAFF, BOOKING OFFICE – SOUTH WEST TRAINS

 

Further to my Circular No IR/229/13 dated the 17th April 2013 with regards to the above matter, I can now advise you that a meeting has been held with our senior union representatives and the matter has again been subject to recent consideration by the General Grades Committee, their decision is as follows:

 

“Referring to Decision GWW, 26th March 2013, we note the meeting has now taken place and we further note the latest report from our Lead officer regarding Richmond Ticket Office that can be found on file.

 

Accordingly, we instruct the General Secretary to ensure the situation at Richmond Ticket Office continues to be monitored and that a report is placed back before us when ‘full’ normal working resumes or by 6th August 2013 whichever is the earliest.

 

Relevant Branches and Wessex Regional Council to be advised.”

 

In accordance with the above, I am now acting on the instructions of the GGC decision and I will, of course, keep you fully advised on any further developments.

 

Best wishes.

Bob Crow

General Secretary
