Unite signs recognition agreement with London and North Western
Railway
4th August 2009
Unite, the UK’s largest trade union, and London and North
Western Railway (LNWR), the Crewe based train maintenance company,
have today (Tuesday) signed a trade union recognition agreement
which entitles over 100 rail workers to be represented on both an
individual and a collective basis.
Bob Rixham, Unite national officer for railways, said: “The
Unite members at LNWR have been fantastic and delivered a vote of
over 70 per cent in favour of recognition. They like many others in
the industry realise they deserve professional representation that
Unite will provide.
“The future is bright and Unite looks forward to working with
LNWR to grow the business and provide much needed employment for
the residents of the Crewe area.”
