That doesn’t sound right to me. I’d be questioning it and also be on to the local rep! You’re technically working therefore, as per your contract of employment, should be getting paid Sunday rate. You’ll soon learn that if you want anything, you have to stand up and be counted! Pretty sure the...

No. You get Sunday rate for travelling on a Sunday.

Richmond as far as Bracknell on the Reading line. Twickenham round to Kingston and Shepperton. (Shepperton to Fulwell is operated by a brand new IECC scalable work station that) Hounslow Loop from Chiswick toward Feltham and around toward Anglia Route at Acton Wells. Staines to Windsor...

This ain’t a dating site lol. Have fun ;)

The bonus is route specific dependant on annual performance for that route.

The point I’m trying to make is just like Gareth says below. It’s extremely rare these days for a company to offer no redundancies, and realistically, it was never going to last. The RMT will always strive to get the best for its members, and as a member you should have faith in them. That is...

Sorry if this sounds rude.. Up until the 7 months ago you finally got a job as a signaller, what was your career before hand? Did they offer no compulsory redundancy’s too?

It was accepted yesterday around 2/3pm. A formal message to members is being drafted.

Oh I shan’t! My two pence worth on it all... If you’re moaning at the company for having a long back log of training courses for new signallers, then this job is not for you. The fact the coming is willing to offer you a job in the first place should be the only thing you need. If they...

110%. Gutted he won’t be working in my AOC though, make him work pumping points and barriers all day long

F**k off! You’re a right grumpy c***! I’m kidding, well done mate!

There’s a few different rates based on distance covered. 4% (in house such as an asc), 12%, 18%, 24% and 32%. The higher the percentage, the further the distance covered.

Yes and no, the grading of a panel is scored on a number of things, such as number of points, number of signals and types (eg Auto, distance, semi auto, controlled, position light etc), number and type of level crossings (CCTV, OD, user worked, AHBs etc), number of phone calls in an average day...

The article I can see to be very true. £75k isn’t hard in the grand scheme of things!

Depends on roster, but 45-48k with base roster. If inner London add another £3-4K or so (can’t remember what it is exactly as never check) or if it’s south east allowance add £800 or so?

Ah well that’s crap.. :/

That’s a shame :/ Best start taking some comp leave or annual leave days on Saturdays? :p

You may not have any rostered Sundays, however there’s always spare Sundays going as a fair amount of resident staff don’t want to work their own Sundays! You’ll also get a fair amount of night shifts being relief meaning you’ll get your night premium too for every night shift.

Your basic salary will be the headline pay Mulitplied by 124% (Base grade salary x1.24). The relief premium however does not apply to any Sunday, overtime or rest day working shifts as they are voluntary. On your base roster you will not have any Sundays at all, however you will be offered any...

Basically what Godfreycomplex says. When you join a union such as the RMT, you’re thankful for all the things you’ve listed above. You also expect the union to give you their full support and fight your corner should you have an incident, or even over small things locally such as rostering or...
