CIRC 028: RESULTS OF STATUTORY BALLOT (MERSEYCARE TRUST/NOTTINGHAMSHIRE TRUST
The results of the statutory ballot showed an overwhelming rejection of the pay offer which has been imposed by NHS Employers.
However, in order for the POA to have been able to take industrial action over 50% of members needed to have voted and this did not occur in either trust.
As this is the first statutory ballot for health trusts under the new trade union legislation of 2016 it has been a learning curve for those branches which took part in the ballot.
Members have a responsibility to update their details and much work has been done during the process to ensure that every member receives a ballot paper. Branches are to be commended for the work that has been done in ensuring that this happened.
Yours sincerely
STEVE GILLAN
General Secretary
