Eurostar train

Workers who clean Eurostar trains and stations in Kent have voted to go on strike in a row over pay.

The RMT union claims 150 of its members working on three separate contracts earned little more than the minimum wage - and had been offered a "derisory" increase.

Staff involved in the pay row clean trains at Ebbsfleet International and London St Pancras stations.

RMT General secretary Bob Crow said "the era of poverty pay for cleaners must come to an end".
