Default Train Strikes under Labour: Avanti West Coast 29 Dec,24/ Jan 25

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j0pn23ryjo


[The RMT union said that walkouts
have been scheduled for
22, 23 and 29 December for the
London to Scotland service
after rejecting the train company's
proposals for "rest day working arrangements".

Train managers usually work a
41-hour week but due to staff
shortages can be asked to work
on their days off - but the RMT said
that the current arrangements
were "unacceptable".]



Labour Party sort you poxy Strikes out

More Strikes under Labour

[Strike action by Avanti West Coast train managers
is back on after an offer aimed at resolving a dispute
over rest day working was rejected.

Members of the RMT union will now walk out
on New Year's Eve and 2 January, as well as every
Sunday from 12 January to 25 May.


The union said "sustained strike action"
was now "the only way to focus
management's minds on reaching
a negotiated settlement".]

In scotland, you can tell someone to **** off, just by pointing your thumb behind your shoulders whilst saying, Avanti, at them.
