RFA seafarers announce new strike dates
Seafarers working for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary will take 3 days strike action later this month in a long running dispute over pay.
RMT members have taken 5 stoppages since the dispute began under the previous Tory government.
The union has had cordial meetings with the Ministry of Defence but has not received any improved offer.
All RFA personnel have been directed to abstain from duties on strike day while ensuring essential safety protocols, including maintaining moorings and gangways, are strictly observed.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “The moderate demands of our members on pay must be heard and they need to be given a pay rise that recognises the important and often hazardous work they do all over the world.
“We will continue to campaign for a decent pay rise so we can bring this dispute to a conclusion.”
