Royal Fleet Auxiliary workers protest against ‘derisory’ pay deal
RMT's protest against the ‘derisory’ pay deal outside Parliament today

ROYAL FLEET AUXILIARY workers held a noisy demonstration outside Parliament yesterday against their livelihoods being “undermined” by a “derisory” pay deal.

The 700 RMT members, who supply vital goods to the Royal Navy, have been taking industrial action for over two weeks.

This includes refusing to return early from leave, working only contracted hours and only practising mandatory safety drills.
