In response to the consultation paper the branch stewards committee agreed to hold workplace ballots at our 5 main hospital sites. (This Trust has 54 designated community sites) with a membership of 700 across all. The Branch committee made no recommendation on the pay offer and simply put the questions to the membership.
We publicized the ballot through the Trust intranet, email, and via word of mouth via the stewards network across the organization.
The membership responded and we issued 304 ballot papers - 300 were valid returns.
The workplace ballot proved to be very popular and we were able to recruit a large number of new members as a direct result of the ballot. The RMS now has over 700 members allocated to this branch, a significant increase!
The figures produced a 90% rejection of the pay award and in support of industrial action.
