RMT Press Office:

Rail union RMT, has won an RPI inflation pay rise with a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies for its members on Network Rail.

Over three quarters of members accepted the offer which includes no efficiency or productivity elements linked to the deal and a 3.8% pay rise.

RMT 
general secretary Eddie Dempsey said: "I congratulate our Network Rail members and negotiators for securing this pay rise, which protects against the rising cost of living.

“Following the successful deal secured on London Underground and now Network Rail, we will now be demanding similar proposals from the train operating companies. And we expect employers to deliver.

“Trades unionism is about winning for members in the workplace and that is what RMT will continue to do wherever we are organised.”
