UNION HAILS 'GREAT VICTORY' AS CLEANERS WIN BATTLE OVER PAY
MERSEYRAIL cleaners have suspended their planned strike action after receiving an improved pay offer.
Outsourced cleaners working on the rail service had announced their plans to walk out last month following a pay dispute with Churchill Services.
The 48-hour strike was due to begin tomorrow (April 4), as trade union RMT said staff had been left with “no other option”. The improved offer will now be put to a referendum which will close on April 10, and the union is “strongly recommending” members to accept.
