RMT will take strike action on CrossCountry next month after the company failed to resolve long-running issues on pay, staffing and previously agreed commitments.
The union has tried repeatedly for months to reach a negotiated settlement.
But regretfully the company has failed to honour agreements on overtime payments, staff resourcing and wage discrepancies for different grades.
With no credible progress being made, RMT members have no other option than to take strike action on the following days:
• Saturday 6 December
• Saturday 13 December
• Saturday 20 December
• Saturday 27 December
RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said: “CrossCountry has not dealt with the core issues in this dispute and has come back with a proposal that is worse than what was already on the table.
“Our members are still facing unresolved staffing shortages, unfair pay outcomes and broken commitments.
“RMT members have been left with no choice but to take strike action.
“The company must return with a serious offer that meets the commitments it has already made and treats our members with the fairness and respect they deserve.”
