NETWORK Rail staff who went on strike in recent disputes will be denied bonuses, in a move branded “disgraceful” byThe state-owned railway infrastructure firm, which owns train stations across the UK, has been slammed by the RMT union for the move, which it says is an attempt to “divide the workforce”.while those who walked out will not be eligible for performance-based pay boosts.
A Network Rail spokesperson told the paper: “Awarding performance-related pay [PRP] is Network Rail’s way of recognising colleagues for their contribution to achieving the company’s performance targets. We have been crystal clear with both our trade unions and our employees that the cost of strike action would directly impact the PRP scheme.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “The decision to exclude trade unionists from this bonus scheme is disgraceful and is understandably causing significant consternation among members. But he said the employer could deny workers their bonuses because it is not a contractual obligation.
