Following months of strike action, Abellio London drivers have accepted a deal in what's being described as an 'important pay victory'.
The pay rise equates to an increase of 18% on the basic rate, while the agreement also includes all rates being raised, including overtime and rest-day working."Workers have stood firm and with the support of their union, Unite, they have secured a richly deserved pay increase," she added.
A spokesperson for Abellio London said the "substantial pay rise" equated to an increase of about £100 a week and made the firm "one of the highest-paying operators in London". "It was disappointing that strikes unnecessarily continued into February despite this fantastic offer being made at the beginning of the year," they added.
