Dear Colleagues

REVIEW OF LOCAL STAFF REPRESENTATIVE CONSTITUENCIES

You will be aware I hope that due to the reorganisation within South West Trains we have had to reorganise some of the local reps constituencies.

This has been agreed with the company and I enclose a copy of the agreed local staff representative’s constituencies with grades and activities within retail company council. As part of this re-negotiation it was agreed with South West Trains that we would re-advertise all of the positions within these areas. That does mean that sitting local representatives who wish to continue in their role will have to re-apply with immediate effect.

I can only apologise for the inconvenience that this will cause but I do feel that it will be necessary, to start us off on the correct footing as regards to the re-organisation within the company. Any existing representative or indeed any member of the RMT who wishes to stand as a local representative, should with immediate effect see their local manager to obtain a nomination form. This must be completed as appropriate and returned as quickly as possible. If I can be of any assistance in this regard then please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely
