27 February 2024 CHANGES TO TICKET OFFICES – GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY A formal document has been received from Great Western Railway (GWR) management outlining the company’s approach to station operations. While some points align with previous decisions made by the Union’s National Executive Committee (NEC), several proposed changes require urgent attention After reviewing the company’s proposals and the report from your Lead Ofcer, the NEC has directed me to launch a recruitment campaign within GWR to strengthen industrial support. This action is necessary given the company’s failure to properly consult and negotiate with your Union. If you know a colleague who is not yet a member of the RMT, please encourage them to join by clicking HERE, calling 020 7387 4771, or using our Freephone number 0800 376 3706 and asking to speak to our membership department. In addition, the NEC has instructed me to prepare a ballot matrix for all Station Grade members within GWR. The industrial ballot will be in response to: The proposed changes to Ticket Ofces The unilateral ‘watering down’ of safety-critical duties of dispatch staff Concerns regarding single stafng of gate line members.

As a result, the NEC has also instructed me to escalate our campaign by raising awareness among RMT members, the public, disability rights groups, and other vulnerable campaigning groups about the detrimental impact of these changes. This effort will build on the Union’s powerful ‘Save Our Stations’ initiative. Additionally, the Union is considering a coordinated national campaign to challenge similar threats across the railway network. I trust this keeps you advised, and I will continue to keep members updated on this situation. Yours sincerely Michael Lynch General Secretary But no details as to what the changes GWR are making.
