Avanti West Coast strikes suspended for next two Sundays amid ‘intensive talks’
Strikes by Avanti West Coast train managers have been suspended for the next two weeks to allow time for “intensive talks.”
In a statement on Thursday, the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said planned industrial action on Sunday 19th January and Suinday 26th January would no longer be going ahead.
All other previously announced strike dates remain in place. The RMT had previously announced walk-outs every Sunday until 25 May in a dispute over rest day working.
An RMT spokesperson said: “This suspension reflects our good will and commitment to finding a resolution to this rest day working dispute.
“We are responding to overtures from Avanti and hope meaningful progress towards a negotiated settlement can be made during these talks.”
