RMT Scotrail members staying strong again today in Britain's longest running dispute as unions prepare to take fight to Bute House this week.
RAIL UNION RMT said that Scotrail members are staying strong again today in Britain's longest running dispute as the unions prepare to take the fight for fairness and respect on Scotland's railways to Bute House this week.
General Secretary Mick Lynch said
"It is nothing short of a scandal that Transport Scotland and the SNP are happy to carry on paying management fees to Scotrail Abellio, a company that has declared war on its loyal and hard working staff.
"It's about time the political elite in Scotland took responsibility for the seven month dispute over pay equality on Scotrail and forced their ā€ˇcontractors back to the table to negotiate a fair settlement.
"That is one of the core messages we will be taking to Bute House this week. "
