With the upcoming retirement of TFC staff side chair, Dave Feldwick elections were held to fill the vacancy of the staff side chair. In a close fought contest, RMT nominated rep, Brian Munro narrowly lost the vote to be staff side chair by 1 vote.
As the RMT made the case for closer cooperation on the TFC, ASLEF members on the Council came close to splitting off and nominating Bro Munro.
Aslef rep Graham Dean was elected.
The RMT staff side wish Dave a long and happy retirement.
