BREAKING: Network Rail staff have voted overwhelmingly to accept a pay offer, their union has announced.
But the Rail, Maritime and Transport union remains in dispute with Network Rail after its members rejected an offer earlier this week.
Strikes by RMT union directly cover the Christmas period, including December 24 which is a hectic day for people travelling. And TSSA members in dispute with different train operating companies over pay, jobs and conditions and will still be striking, tomorrow, Saturday and December 26, 27 and 28.Friday, December 16, 2022Tuesday, January 3, 2023These are national rail strikes, meaning there will be little or no national rail services running across all rail companies nationwide.
TSSA organising director Luke Chester said: ‘This is a decisive result, with our members roundly endorsing this offer. It’s great news and a great deal for our members in Network Rail.‘Let me be clear though – this has only come about because our members stood together, taking strike action to get a fair settlement when the company had failed to listen.
‘If the rail companies and the Government have any sense, they will now stop blocking the perfectly reasonable pathway to a deal and come back to the table with an improved offer which meets our aspirations.’Get your need-to-know latest news, feel-good stories, analysis and more
