LNER TSSA Ballot Result

Members in LNER have voted YES to strike action and YES to action short of a strike.

85.7% voted YES to action short of strike and 69.2% voted in favour of strike action. This will send a strong message to the company that we need action on pay, job security and terms and conditions.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote in this important ballot. This is another successful industrial action ballot among TSSA members in the current industry-wide dispute over pay, job security and terms and conditions. Your TSSA colleagues in other train operators and Network Rail are also being balloted for both strike action and action short of strike with further ballot results due over the coming days.

We are liaising closely with our sister rail unions and are engaging with your reps about next steps and action. We have not served notice for action dates yet, but rest assured we will keep you updated on all developments. Please speak to your TSSA reps for more information and thank you again for taking part in this important ballot.
