Avanti West Coast workers to strike over Christmas
Avanti West Coast train managers have voted to strike for three days over Christmas.
The RMT union said strikes were planned on December 22, 23 and 29 on London to Scotland trains after rejecting the train company’s proposal for “rest day working arrangements”.
Train managers normally work a four-day week but can be asked to work on their rest days due to staff shortages, but the RMT said the current arrangements were “unacceptable”.
Avanti West Coast has been contacted for comment.
