RMT has announced industrial action by Control Room grade members at MTR Elizabeth Line after rejecting the company’s latest pay offer.
Members are due to strike between 9pm on Tuesday 31 December 2024 and 8:59pm on Wednesday 1 January 2025.
They are also not working rest days or overtime from Thursday 5th December till the end of Wednesday 18 December.
The union has rejected the company’s pay offer and is seeking improvements to holiday entitlement and a fair reduction in working hours.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said: “Our members play a vital role in running the Elizabeth Line and their demands for fair treatment on working hours and leave remain unmet.
“The current offer falls short, and our members are determined to secure a fair deal.”
The union has called for urgent talks with MTR Elizabeth Line to secure a revised offer.
