Merseyrail: TSSA’s 2026 Management Grade Pay Claim survey

Dear members

As we prepare for this year’s pay negotiations with Merseyrail, your voice is not just important – it is essential. Every member in the management grades has unique insights into what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change. To build a strong, credible, and evidence‑based pay claim, we need to hear directly from you.

We have launched a short online pay claim survey, and completing it is one of the most powerful ways you can influence the priorities we take into negotiations.

Why your input matters

  • Real experiences lead to real outcomes. The information you share helps us demonstrate the true pressures, expectations, and demands placed on management‑grade staff.
  • A stronger collective voice means a stronger claim. When more members participate, our negotiating position is clearer, firmer, and harder to ignore.
  • This claim is built by you. The survey ensures the pay claim reflects your needs, your conditions, and your expectations for fair reward and recognition.

Your time, your impact

The survey only takes a few minutes to complete, but the impact will last all year.
These negotiations shape not only your pay, but your working environment, your work‑life balance, and your future at Merseyrail.

In solidarity,
TSSA
