RAIL union RMT confirmed strike dates for workers on Caledonian Sleeper trains today, as it accused operating company Serco of lying to passengers about the wage dispute.

The key workers will walk out for 11 days between next Tuesday and June 26 after a massive 85 per cent vote in favour of strike action last month over Serco’s imposition of a pay freeze during the Covid-19 pandemic.

RMT said that workers had also been instructed to not work any overtime or on rest days from June 26 until further notice.
