RFA on strike over pay
RMT members within Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) are intensifying their pay dispute today with strike action across British and international waters.
This is the third stoppage in the dispute with participation spanning from ports to ships in distant locations such as Australia.
All RFA personnel have been directed to abstain from duties today while ensuring essential safety protocols, including maintaining moorings and gangways, are strictly observed.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said: “This latest strike is about more than fair pay; it’s about gaining the respect and recognition that seafarers deserve for their vital contributions worldwide.
“We urge all members to stay strong and united in their fight for a just pay rise and better working conditions, which they have rightfully earned.
“RFA management and the new government need to resolve this dispute quickly and acknowledge the deep-seated anger and frustration of RMT members.”
