Strikes planned by workers on Avanti West Coast over the next two Sundays have been called off. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) have been taking industrial action in a dispute over rest-day working. A series of Sunday walkouts was due to continue for the next few months.
The union announced that strikes planned for the next two Sundays have been suspended to allow intensive talks to take place following recent approaches by Avanti. Future strikes are still in place. An RMT spokesperson said: “This suspension reflects our good will and commitment to finding a resolution to this rest day working dispute.
