Avanti West Coast train managers will strike on December 31st and January 2nd after overwhelmingly rejecting the company’s latest offer to resolve an ongoing dispute.
The rejected offer followed Avanti management paying £300 or more to management grades to cover rest day working.
Train managers argue that Avanti has failed to address their concerns adequately, leading to the action.
Mick Lynch, RMT general secretary said: “Avanti West Coast created this dispute by ignoring train managers’ concerns and presenting offers those members deemed unacceptable.
“The company must come forward with a revised proposal so we can avoid more strike action further into 2025.”
RMT remains open to resolving the issue and urges Avanti to take immediate action.
