Stadler Rail (UNITE) Strike Calendar

Engineers on the Metro are employed by Stadler Rail which has failed to make a fair pay offer despite seeing an increase of 13.4 per cent in their own funding from the publicly funded Nexus transport group. Stadler is also seeking to make adverse changes to pay anniversary dates.

Engineering staff began an overtime ban yesterday (Monday 6 November). A new pay offer has been made by Stadler Rail which is currently under consideration by members, but Unite has made it clear that unless the new offer is accepted industrial action will begin on 20 November for one week. Further strike action could occur at later dates. The ballot on the new pay offer closes at midday on 9 November.
