Union celebrates victory after accepting pay deal with ScotRail
However, RMT warns rail privateer Serco to improve its offer to Caledonian Sleeper workers or strike action will go ahead

RAIL union RMT celebrated victory today after accepting a pay deal with ScotRail that averted strike action hitting Scotland’s train services throughout the Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow.

However, union leaders called on rail privateer Serco to improve its pay offer to Caledonian Sleeper workers so that separate strike action does not go ahead.

RMT representatives announced on Wednesday night that industrial action, which begun on Scotland’s train operator in March, had been called off after negotiations ended in an agreement.
