RMT Press Office:
Train Managers at Avanti West Coast will take strike action after overwhelmingly rejecting the company’s inadequate proposals on rest day working arrangements.
Strike action is now scheduled to take place on the following dates:
Sunday 22 December
Monday 23 December
Sunday 29 December
In an e-referendum, 92.8% of our members rejected management's latest proposals on a turnout of 81%.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said: “Avanti West Coast’s proposals have been decisively rejected by our Train Managers, sending a clear message to management that the current arrangements are unacceptable.
"Train Managers are being treated unfairly compared to senior managers, who receive significant payments for covering these roles.
“Our members have had enough, and this strike action demonstrates their determination to win a fair deal.
"It’s time for Avanti to put forward serious proposals that reflect the vital contribution of our Train Managers to the railway.
"We remain ready to reach a negotiated settlement and we urge management to show they are serious about resolving this dispute.”
