First Transpennine Express Industrial Action
RMT suspends action by First Transpennine conductors and station staff after improved pay offer
STRIKE ACTION by more than 350 RMT conductors and station staff grades at First Transpennine Express has been suspended after the company tabled a “significantly improved” pay offer on the eve of the first of two scheduled 24-hour strikes.
Action by drivers remains on.
Interesting that the drivers are still striking should be interesting
(I didnt know guards were striking as they were in year 2 of a 2 year deal)
This is the RMT letter to the Drivers
