The RMT union has rejected an offer from train operators aimed at preventing strikes over the Christmas period, the union has announced
2:03The RDG said it was proposing a"fair and affordable offer in challenging times, providing a significant uplift in salary for staff" which would deliver"vital and long overdue" changes to working arrangements.
"If approved by the RMT, implementation could be fast-tracked to ensure staff go into Christmas secure in the knowledge they will receive this enhanced pay award early in the New Year, alongside a guarantee of job security until April 2024," an RDG spokesperson said. The company called on the union to"move forward with us" so we can"give our people a pay rise and deliver an improved railway with a sustainable, long-term future for those who work on it."
More than 600 workers at the housing and homeless charity Shelter are beginning an unprecedented fortnight of strike action on Monday in a dispute over their pay.
