Train companies have made a new offer to rail workers in a bid to end a long running dispute over pay which has been ongoing since last summer, the group representing the rail industry said today.
A spokesperson for the Rail Delivery Group, said: “Following further constructive joint discussions with the RMT leadership we have put forward a fair revised offer which makes important clarifications and reassurances, in particular around job terms and conditions for our employees.
“Our ambition remains to secure long-term, rewarding careers for our people, a better service for a passengers and a railway that takes no more than its fair share from the taxpayer. Our hope is that the RMT executive will put this proposal to its full train operating company membership and allow them a say on the deal, so we can end this dispute and work together to deliver a strong future for Britain’s railway and all those who work on it.”
The RMt said it was considering the offer and had yet to decide what its next steps would be,
A separate pay dispute with Network Rail, which owns and operates tracks and signalling infrastructure, was resolved last month after the union said its members had voted to accept an improved pay offer.
