Rail workers' union RMT has announced more strikes next month following what it said was a pay offer 'U-turn' from Network Rail
Rail workers' union RMT has announced more strikes next month following what it said was a pay offer"U-turn" from Network Rail.Negotiations had been under way between the union and the rail operator.
The Railway, Maritime and Transport said there had been an agreement that Network Rail would commit to an improved offer on pay and work towards a negotiated settlement but the company"reneged on their promises of an improved pay offer and sought to impose job cuts, more unsocial hours and detrimental changes to rosters".
The strikes are taking place as the rail company"attempted to impose drastic changes in working practices". The union said Network Rail wrote directly to staff to undermine talks and have tried to rehash a previously rejected deal. RMT staff will also strike on 3 November in a separate dispute with London Underground and Overground networks .
