Network Rail has made a new pay offer to workers following three days of strike action last month, but it does not appear to have been welcomed by union bosses
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch responded to the offer by saying:"We will not hesitate to call further strike action and co-ordinate this with other trade unions if the industry continues to fob us off with unacceptable offers.".
Mr Lynch told members:"Network Rail has offered high level managers a huge hike in salary in return for very modest flexibility compared to what you and your colleagues have been offered."All companies involved in this dispute need to understand that key railway workers have lost thousands of pounds in earnings due to a pay freeze in recent years - and rightly, you refuse to be short-changed again.
Talks between the RMT and train operators continued on Tuesday evening, while the RMT executive committee will meet on Wednesday to discuss the offer. General secretary Manuel Cortes said:"These latest offers don't come close to what our Network Rail members expect.
