Eurostar workers vote for strike

Eurostar described itself as a "model employer"

Customer service staff working for Eurostar have voted by two to one for strike action, the Rail, Maritime and Transport union has announced.

The RMT had asked around 150 of its members to vote on a strike over pay at the cross-channel train operator.

The union claims that workers earn "scandalously" low pay and are paid different rates for the same jobs.

Eurostar insisted strike action would not affect services and described itself as a "model employer".
