Avanti West Coast workers to strike over Christmas

Published On Dec 10, 2024, 2:41 PM

Avanti West Coast train managers are set to strike for three days over the Christmas period due to unresolved issues regarding rest day working arrangements. The RMT union rejected the company's proposals and claims unfair treatment compared to senior management. Despite a recent 5% pay rise accepted by the union, disputes remain over working practices and future pay. The train service anticipates significant disruption to travel during this busy time, although both parties express willingness to negotiate an agreement.
