Overview
- RFA crews mounted a 24-hour walkout Thursday, with picket lines at Portland and outside Cammell Laird in Birkenhead.
- RMT said crews would keep vessels safe during the stoppage by managing moorings and gangways throughout the strike.
- The union says management has not returned with an improved pay offer and wants clear wage formulas for long shifts plus full minimum wage compliance.
- An MoD spokesperson acknowledged the action and said it is working with trade unions toward a resolution, with no settlement announced.
- The action follows an improved deal accepted last year that included pay uplifts and backpay, yet members say pay and conditions remain unresolved.
