Railway workers employed by Carlisle Support Services, contracted by Northern for gateline operations, are striking across various locations including Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Victoria, and Wigan for pay justice and workplace equality. The strikes, supported by the RMT Union and its Northern reps, are in protest against the lack of sick pay, holiday pay, and lower wages compared to other Northern staff. Additionally, a petition signed by hundreds of railway workers has been presented in support of the strike, advocating for justice and equality. The RMT Union has also highlighted the issue of 800 workers being sacked without notice, consultation, or consequences for the employer, calling for a new deal for workers and to outlaw fire and rehire.
Great turnouts at the weekend from our @RMTunion members working for bogus employer @carlislesupserv on @northernassist gateline contract fighting for #JusticeAndEquality. Shame on @northernassist the client for awarding the contract to these crooks #RMT https://t.co/FSVLbRtvUd
800 workers sacked without notice, without consultation and without consequences for their employer. Time to outlaw fire and rehire. Time for a new deal for workers! @RMTunion @nautilusint https://t.co/Ik3nD9CBBB

Manchester Victoria: @carlislesupserv workers are striking today. Carlisle Support Services run the contract for gateline workers at @northernassist but do not provide sick, or holiday pay and provide significantly lower wages to their staff compared with the rest of Northern. https://t.co/PcCETUIh0g
