“However, if no new offer is forthcoming, we will once again take strike action in defence of our members’ livelihoods.”
The Rail Delivery Group (RDG) said it was “acutely aware” of the impact that the ongoing industrial action was having on passengers, staff and businesses that use the service. It said it wanted to resolve the dispute.
“We call on the RMT executive to bring an end to this dispute and put the deal – which offers job security guarantees and a pay rise of up to 13% to the lowest paid workers – to its members,” it said.
