RMT Press Office:
Rail union RMT, has put the latest pay offer of 3.8 per cent from Network Rail out to referendum of its members working in maintenance and operations on the railway with a recommendation to accept.
The publicly owned company has offered a pay rise in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI) for one year with a no compulsory redundancy guarantee.
RMT members will now decide whether to accept the offer and end the pay dispute with Network Rail.
Eddie Dempsey, general secretary RMT, said: "Our members working in Network Rail now have the opportunity to choose whether to accept or reject this offer.
"We are a democratic organisation and ultimately it will be our members who make the decision."
The referendum will open today and close on Thursday January 15.
