Latest Updates (2)
Unite, Britain’s leading trade union, has secured increased pay for workers at Hitachi trains working on Great Western Railways (GWR), resolving an industrial dispute. Some Hitachi engineers, repairs and maintenance crews at LNER remain on strike though as Hitachi has not made the same offer to these workers.
Hitachi employees at GWR have secured the following two year pay increase following the threat of industrial action that would have led to trains remaining in the sidings without the repairs and maintenance necessary to run safely: Year 1 - 6% on basic pay plus a £1,250 lump sum payment effective from 1 April 2023 covering FY 23/24 Year 2 – 5.2% on basic pay effective from 01 April 2024 covering FY 24/25
Over 300 Unite members and further members of the RMT who work as technicians, maintenance crews and engineers at Hitachi Rail Ltd were offered just a 5.5 or 6 per cent pay increase - a real-terms pay cut when inflation is taken into account.
