RMT announce strike action is ‘going ahead in four separate disputes’ on Scotland’s railways

RAIL union RMT announced today that strike action is set to go ahead in four separate disputes on Scotland’s railways as industrial relations sink to a new low.

Transport workers across Scotland will walk out over the next week, with concerns raised over pay for staff being offered by private contractors running the country’s railways. 

On Sunday, ScotRail workers will take action in their long-running fight for pay justice for all grades and another dispute over enhancements for rest-day working.
