Cuts to Pullmans, Travelling Chef, Early and Late night Buffet & Trolley services were confirmed. FGW will introduce a brasserie service on some services in place of Pullman or Travelling Chef circuits.

On-Trains Divisional Council are shocked at the severity of FGW’s plans and made our comments accordingly.

As a result of our arguments RMT has secured:

• Reinstatement of a number of Buffet turns and a Pullman service.
• Any member displaced out of grade retains the higher rate of pay as per Promotion, Transfer & Redundancy Agreements PT&R.
• NO COMPULSORY REDUNDANCIES amongst Catering grades

RMT members currently working on family friendly arrangements will be protected and supported by your union.

Diagrams, which we have still not seen, should be available from the middle of next week. We have expressed our disgust over late publication of the catering diagrams given the scale of changes announced.
Further talks will take Place.

All FGW Catering Staff need to be in RMT at this time. Speak to your colleagues - make sure they are in the union.
