Unipart Rail workers strike over union derecognition in Crewe

Unifor is advocating for swift action to protect workers in Newfoundland and Labrador's trade-exposed sectors, following a roundtable meeting with Premier Andrew Furey. National President Lana Payne emphasized the need for strategic regional discussions alongside federal plans to address potential impacts from U.S. tariffs, urging enhanced income supports and better resource management. Meanwhile, at Unipart Rail's Crewe Depot, workers are striking against the company's decision to revoke recognition of the RMT union, which they view as an attack on their collective rights. RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch condemned the move, stating it has led to significant outrage among staff. The strike is part of a broader industrial campaign, with additional actions planned for February 25. Unipart maintains that their decision will not impact service delivery to customers, despite the ongoing industrial actions.
