RMT Press Office:
Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) seafarers are set to strike on Friday 4 October and Tuesday 8 October due to a long running dispute over pay.
While discussions between the RMT union and the Ministry of Defence have been constructive, no satisfactory offer has been made.
Further talks are scheduled to take place next week in an effort to resolve the dispute.
During the strike, all RFA workers will be standing down from their duties, though essential safety measures—such as monitoring moorings and gangways—will remain in place.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch commented: "RFA seafarers provide vital support for naval operations and other essential services around the world.
"They deserve a decent pay rise to reflect the critical work they do.
"Our fight for fair pay continues, and we hope that the upcoming talks will lead to a reasonable and negotiated settlement."
