Hitachi rail workers will strike for 3 days from tomorrow in a row over pay and conditions.

RMT members are seeking an agreement in line with Hitachi members in Doncaster and Hitachi North Pole maintenance which secures a deal on breaks, leave entitlement, shift length and pay.

However during negotiations, Hitachi Rail who had offered a 7.5% pay rise, then decided to withdraw paid meal breaks and a reduction in the working week elements of the offer.

Maintenance schedules on LNER, Scotrail and TPE will be disrupted as a result.
