A train drivers’ union has withdrawn its ballot on strike action after receiving a new pay offer from ScotRail. Aslef is recommending members accept the offer which its negotiating team described as “acceptable”.
Jim Baxter, Aslef executive committee member, said: “After the latest round of talks with ScotRail, we are pleased to report that the latest offer made to our members is one that the Aslef negotiating team thinks is acceptable. Top news stories today Mark Ilderton, ScotRail service delivery director, said: “The talks with trade union colleagues have been very constructive and it is a fantastic step forward, with Aslef withdrawing the ballot for industrial action and moving forward with a member referendum on the pay offer.
“Whilst the results demonstrated a strong appetite for industrial action, talks had continued throughout the balloting period, and we have received a reasonable offer from ScotRail. We will act in good faith on that offer. TSSA is a democratic trade union and all decisions ultimately rest with our members.”
