Workers on Avanti West Coast are to stage a series of strikes, including on New Year's Eve, it has been an announced.
The RMT said up to 400 of its members are involved in the dispute. They voted by 83 per cent against a suggested deal.An RMT spokesperson said: “Our members have resoundingly rejected Avanti’s latest offers in two referendums and sustained strike action is now the only way to focus management’s minds on reaching a negotiated settlement with the union.”
Strikes planned for December 22, 23 and 29 were suspended last week after a suggested agreement was put to a referendum of RMT members. RMT general secretary Mick Lynch previously said last week that Avanti's previous offer regarding rest day working had been 'decisively rejected' by members, adding: "Train managers are being treated unfairly compared to senior managers, who receive significant payments for covering these roles."
