Merseyrail TSSA General Grades vote to accept pay offer!

TSSA has been conducting a referendum of its General Grades members on the latest pay offer tabled by the company for 2023 following us holding a avoidance of disputes meeting which lead to an increased offer of a one year no strings offer of:

• 7.1% increase.

• A fixed increase of £1800 for those earning under £24,000, giving an average increase to those staff of 8.11%.

TSSA referendum

The pay referendum closed today at 15:00 and the results are as follows:

Percentage of general grade members who voted = 68 %

Percentage of those who voted who voted to accept the offer = 94 %

Percentage of those who voted who voted to reject the offer = 6 %

As a result, I have written to the company to accept the pay offer requesting information on when it will be implemented and backdated to the anniversary date of 1^st April 2023, however if other unions have rejected the offer there may be a need for further meetings.
