Cleaners on Merseyrail suspend strike action after improved offer
STRIKE action by outsourced cleaners on Merseyrail has been suspended following an improved offer from Churchill, RMT has announced.
Outsourcing firm Churchill Services had previously refused to put forward an acceptable offer, leaving workers no other option, but to call strike dates. The planned strike action was planned to take place from:- Friday, 4 April, and Saturday, 5 April, and will now no longer go ahead. The offer will now be put to a referendum which will close on:- 10 April 2025 and the union is strongly recommending acceptance. RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey congratulated outsourced members at Merseyrail for standing firm in their campaign for better pay terms and conditions. He said:- "This is a great victory for some of our lowest paid workers with an improved offer of nearly 7%, 20 days of sick pay and improved overtime rates. This win would not have been possible without the strong resolve of our members. It remains our view that these workers should be insourced immediately so they can receive the same terms and conditions as directly employed Merseyrail staff." COMMENTS (0)
