Avanti West Coast rail passengers will face "significant disruption" for months, after the RMT union announced a series of strikes lasting until May. Hundreds of train managers will be involved after they rejected a deal aimed at resolving a dispute over rest day working. ＠julietdunlop reports.

Fire them all and rehire and train new non union staff

Power to the people if your not prepared to organise and fight for higher wages and conditions for yourself and colleagues don’t criticise those who do. Look at the insane profits floating around. The money is there for all to share don’t believe the bullshit that the country is skint

Giving themselves an extra long break over the festive period. How predictable.

The train companies are holding this country by the balls, just like the coal miners did.. it has to stop, its hurting people not the chuffin establishment..!

So let me get this right Labour took money from the pensioners and gave it to the rail companies in a massive pay rise and they're STILL striking? Ffs

Public ownership now please. What an entitled (and overpaid!!!) group.

I thought Liebour has frozen the pensioners to pay off the unions?

Looks like Avanti West Coast passengers are in for months of chaos. Meanwhile, the rich and powerful continue enjoying luxury travel. Oh, the irony! 🚆💸 #GMB

Seems that train managers feel like they doing the job as the drivers and rightly so deserve a better pay deal. Yet again the government thought they could stop the strikes paying drivers huge pay rises, but forgetting about the other work force.

Strikes?! Under a Liebour govt?!😳no that’s not possible! I mean who’s ever heard of a u ion calling a strike after receiving an open pay cheque for no extra work!…said nobody EVER! Welcome to live under Liebour! Get used to it folks because this is only just the beginning!
