TSSA to ballot thousands of rail workers for strike action
Members of the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) and the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) are joined by their families on the picket line outside London Euston train station as members of both unions take part in a fresh strike over jobs, pay and conditions. Picture date: Wednesday July 27, 2022.
THOUSANDS of rail workers from 12 train operating companies will be reballoted for further strikes in a long-running dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions, TSSA announced today.
The white-collar transport union warned that “some distance” remains in talks with employer body the Rail Delivery Group over an end to real-terms wage cuts and attacks on jobs and terms and conditions.
The ballots are expected to open next week, with results due by the end of February. A vote at Avanti West Coast is already under way, the union confirmed.
