RMT Press Office:
RMT members at CrossCountry will begin an overtime ban and refuse to work rest days from Monday 9 June to Friday 25 October – excluding Sundays.
The action follows Cross Country’s refusal to negotiate on enhancements for all grades to overtime and rest day working, despite previously agreed commitments.
RMT General Secretary Eddie Dempsey said:
“CrossCountry is trying to wriggle out of agreements and block fair pay for our members.
“We will not accept that and our members have been left with no choice but to take industrial action.
“Our members deserve proper recognition for the work they do, and we will campaign until they get it.
“We urge the employer and DfT to negotiate properly and help us reach a negotiated settlement.”
