RMT Press Office:
RMT members working for Rail Gourmet on the Eurostar contract will take strike action from 19-23 April in a dispute over pay.
This follows a magnificent 95% yes vote in our strike ballot, which has given the union a mandate to pursue industrial action to win better pay for low paid members working within the continental rail service.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said: "Our members working for Rail Gourmet on the Eurostar contract are being drastically underpaid compared to their colleagues employed directly by Eurostar.
"There is a huge disparity in pay, terms and conditions, despite the fact that they are carrying out vital work at the same railway company.
"Our members need a pay rise and will continue their industrial campaign until they achieve a negotiated settlement
"Contracting out is hugely exploitative and ultimately these workers must be brought back in house and directly employed by Eurostar."
