RMT union suspends all strikes for Network Rail workers after new pay offer
The RMT union says it has suspended all industrial action for Network Rail workers after receiving a new pay offer.It came after the RMT, which represents 40,000 workers across Network Rail and 14 train operators, rejected employer offers as "they did not meet the needs of members on pay, job security or working conditions".The union has previously indicated that it was seeking an unconditional offer from rail operators and Network Rail.
Rail workers have repeatedly taken strike action since June last year amid a long-running dispute over pay and conditions. Last month, union leader Mick Lynch said industrial action would continue "for as long as it takes" to agree an acceptable deal. An RMT spokesperson said this evening: "The RMT National Executive Committee has taken the decision to suspend all industrial action on Network Rail following receipt of a new offer from the employer. Further updates will be given on all aspects of the national rail dispute in the coming days."
