RMT suspends rail signal worker strike

Listen to this article

The RMT has suspended plans for strike action at the West of Scotland Signalling Centre this week, following ACAS-facilitated talks.

32 members of staff were due to walk out in a dispute over career progression.

The union and Network Rail will instead ‘progress the union’s grievance regarding appointing signallers on merit through the established collective bargaining agreement between the union and employer’.

As a result, strikes planned for January 23 and 27 have been suspended and a normal service will be provided for passengers using Glasgow Central Station.

A spokesperson for the RMT said;

“Having also conversed with the regional organiser and the west of Scotland signalling centre representatives regarding this matter, we suspend the current planned strike action to allow meaningful dialogue to take place which may resolve the current impasse.”
