RMT union members within Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) intensified their pay dispute today with strike actions across British and international waters.

It was the third round of strikes in the dispute and saw participation from Birkenhead, Merseyside, to Darwin in Australia.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “This latest strike is about more than fair pay — it’s about gaining the respect and recognition that seafarers deserve for their vital contributions worldwide.
