Outsourced Merseyrail cleaners to stage 48-hour strike
Merseyrail trains lined up on the track at Kirkdale Depot, June 21, 2022
MERSEYRAIL cleaners are set to walk out for 48 hours from April 4 after rejecting a pay offer, their union RMT announced today.
The union says that despite attempts to negotiate, outsourcing firm Churchill Services, which employs the cleaners, has so far refused to put forward an acceptable offer.
RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said: “Churchill must recognise that our members are some of the poorest paid in our industry and need a pay offer that lifts them out of poverty.
