Disruption at Eurostar’s London terminal has been avoided as security staff contracted by facility manager Mitie have called off a strike planned for tomorrow.
Over 100 members of the union RMT have cancelled their walkout following an improved pay offer of over 10 per cent, which will lead to a 30 per cent uplift for workers on lower salaries.
This is also in addition to guaranteed hours on permanent shift patterns and Mitie’s pledge to look into its sick pay policy to ensure employees have a review before any decision on whether it is payable is made.
Secretary general Mick Lynch congratulated workers, saying they have “fought hard for an improvement in the offer and succeeded.”
