RMT members reject latest Network Rail pay offer
Train strikes are set to go ahead this week after members of the UK's largest rail union rejected a pay offer.
But RMT union boss Mick Lynch described the deal as "substandard", as 63.6% of members who voted rejected the deal. RMT members at both groups will stage walkouts across Britain this week, and then again on 3-4 January and 6-7 January. But the deal also depended on big changes to working practices in its maintenance teams, which would involve 1,900 job losses, though Network Rail has insisted this could be achieved by voluntary means.
General secretary of the union Mick Lynch said the vote, which saw an 83% turnout, represented a "huge rejection" of Network Rail's offer.
