@KatieW456938 @max_power82 The ballot for the revised offer was issued on Wednesday afternoon. If it’s not in your spam folder, then please feel free to DM this account with your membership number and email address and we can refer it to the digital team on Monday to get a link sent out.

@UniteNatwest @max_power82 Has the ballot been sent out? Haven’t received.

@UniteNatwest Following today's comms for us staff, are Unite going to continue to push back against the latest offer? Still seems miles off what Unite were pushing for originally.

@KatieW456938 Thanks for raising these points. We’ve checked and the revised FAQs were not shared with the Unite NatWest reps in advance of publication but Unite will raise these issues on Monday. A Unite FAQ set was issued this afternoon.

@UniteNatwest The FAQs are still misleading even after clarification. The worked examples state ‘the colleague will receive £x more with the new ballot offer compared to the original ballot offer’ but the original figure is exclusive of the discretionary award and the new one is inclusive.

The Unite in NatWest Pay Ballot closed at 12 noon today. Members have overwhelmingly rejected the NatWest pay offer and have indicated their willingness to take industrial action, up to and including strike action, in pursuit of a fair pay deal. ACCEPT: 32%. REJECT: 68%.

@Stuie2000Stuart The offer is below RPI so has no recommendation or steer from Unite as per our pay claim commitment. Members must make their own decision as with the first offer. In negotiations, when the employer presents a ‘final offer,’ it must be presented to members for their decision.

@UniteNatwest Core inflation is 3.2 percent right now and it seems the improved rate after months of negotiations is 3.0 percent for C grade staff? Why would people accept this?

@Niz11111 A revised offer has been presented. Members will now vote and decide on whether it meets their expectations.

@UniteNatwest Any updates on this @UniteNatwest

The @GOVUK and @scotgov have enabled @ADL's decision with half of the new bus orders going to a Chinese company instead of boosting Scottish green manufacturing and supply chains. Unless there is urgent action to stop these job losses then this political weakness and failure should not be forgiven. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@zaldou1874 Negotiations have resumed with the bank. A further meeting is scheduled today.

@UniteNatwest What's the latest on this?

@j_dufeu There will be an update this week. We decided to wait until after the first negotiation meeting. Updates will keep members informed of progress but any pay offers are embargoed until they are put to members in a formal pay ballot so we’ll be unable to reveal details until then.

@UniteNatwest When are we likely here the next update regarding Pay?

📊 RPI+ vs CPI. What’s the difference? 💰 Put simply, well over £1m to the average worker over your working life! The government used to measure inflation using the Retail Price Index – a measure of the cost of a representative shopping basket. Then it hit on a neat way of reducing the rate of inflation – change the way you measure it! The problem is that doesn’t stop all that other stuff that workers have to pay for from going up in price. So, CPI dramatically underestimates working class people’s living costs. ✊ So, when Unite reps are negotiating for better pay, we stick to RPI as a measure we want to move ahead of. Anything below that is a pay cut. Find out more unitetheunion.org/fandf from p41

😲 The average worker has lost £65k since the financial crisis in 2008. 📉 Workers earn 17.5% less in real terms today because prices have risen faster than wages. 📈 Meanwhile, CEO and directors’ pay has boomed, along with profits and dividends. So, next time a well-paid director or politician tells you to ‘tighten your belt’ you know how to respond. We have a long way to go for workers to recover all that lost income. ✊ Facts and Figures, from Unite, helps our reps with the arguments and guidance needed to fuel the pay campaigns that are putting hundreds of millions back into the pockets of Unite members unitetheunion.org/fandf

The Unite in NatWest pay ballot closes tomorrow (Weds 18th) at noon. If you haven’t yet voted, now is the time. Not received a ballot link? Check your spam folders. If you don’t find it, contact rbsinfo@unitetheunion.org with your name, membership number and email by 4pm today.

It remains a fact that unionised workplaces are safer and healthier than non-unionised workplaces. Look after yourself and your colleagues. Join your union join.unitetheunion.org

⚠️‼️Pay 2026‼️⚠️ We’re aware of an issue with broken links in the pay ballot email NatWest members received today. This has now been rectified and a follow up email sent with working links. If you continue to experience issues please DM us. We encourage all members to vote ✊

UPDATE - UNITE MEMBERS WIN AT SULLOM VOE! 4% rise backdated to April ’25 Another 4% in 2026 Bonuses worth up to £1k a year protected £1,225 cost-of-living payment in 2025 A great example of workers uniting to win better jobs, pay and conditions. Congratulations!

@RytingRong Negotiations remain ongoing. We have yet to reach agreement and details remain under embargo. As each day goes by and with news like this, our mandate only gets stronger. Other banks are balloting on pay and members at HSBC rejected a pay offer that didn’t meet expectations.

@UniteNatwest What is the latest on your stance for the NatWest workers? Is there any movement?

So it was all true - ‘NatWest to buy wealth manager Evelyn Partners for £2.7bn.’ Lucky for us workers, there’s still plenty left to fund our pay claim in full. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

👏 Congratulations to all Unite members who have fought back and won at work so far in 2026. Since Sharon Graham was elected General Secretary in August 2021, over 267,000 Unite members have stood up in nearly 1,600 disputes and won more than £620 million in better pay. So far in 26: 💥 First Bus Glasgow - 5% 💥 Metrolink tram drivers - a deal to tackle fatigue 💥 Shelter - working week cut from 37 hours to 35 + 2 extra days annual leave 💥 Bosch Rexroth - stopped redundancies, fire & rehire & short term working 💥 Trescal – union recognition 💥 Heathrow cabin crew at SAS - 8% pay 💥 Glen Dimplex in Portadown - uplift of £2,330 💥 DHL workers at Luton Airport easyJet - 5.5%, a 25% increase to night premiums & a £250 payment #SolidaritySunday

🥪Food prices were up 5.5% in the run-up to Christmas 🏡Housing costs were up 4.4% 📈 With RPI at 4.2%, workers need pay rises at least equal to that to just stand still. Unite is providing support, including Facts & Figures to help our reps lead the fight for decent pay deals👊
