Rail union leaders have been accused of ‘holding the country to ransom’ after announcing a walkout from 6pm on December 24 until 6am on December 27
"The Rail Delivery Group offered an 8% pay rise over the next two years. The RMT has not even put that proposal to its membership.
The union recommended its members should reject the latest offer from Network Rail , claiming train operating companies still awaited a mandate from the Government. The Transport Salaried Staffs Association announced it was calling off strikes planned in NR for December and is putting an offer to its members.
"This offer shows what can be achieved when employers and unions are able to negotiate in good faith. It is significantly better than the offer put by the Rail Delivery Group, which we have rejected. Tim Shoveller, Network Rail's chief negotiator, said: "This response from the RMT to a significantly enhanced offer exposes their true priority - using the British public and Network Rail workers as pawns in a fight with the Government.
