Last week, RFA leadership finally met with Maritime Trade Unions to present the 2025/26 pay offer.
It was no surprise to anyone that it did not meet expectations, and both Nautilusint
and RMTunion formally rejected the proposal on behalf of all employees. Strike action is probably imminent.
The RFA hopes to get ACAS involved in arbitration, but decent pay is the only solution to declining morale and further loss of people from the RN’s critical logistic support service.
