The possibility of strike action being taken by staff on Scotland’s railway has become more likely after union members rejected a pay deal.
The RMT union – whose members include ticket examiners, conductors and station staff – said on Thursday that 60% of members who voted in a ballot rejected a deal that would increase pay by 5% and create a revenue sharing programme.
ScotRail’s head of customer operations Phil Campbell said: “It is incredibly disappointing that RMT members have voted against this offer. “We all want to have a reliable, efficient, and sustainable railway that supports the economy and connects communities across the country. This offer would be a significant step towards delivering that.”said the offer was “fair and affordable”, but added the body is still committed to resolving the dispute.
