The Transport Secretary has said that Rail, Maritime and Transport workers will not be given an improved pay offer. It comes amid an ongoing dispute which has seen workers strike over pay, jobs and conditions.
Mark Harper made his comments during a visit to a business neat his Forest of Dean constituency. He said there is “not a bottomless pit” of money available to railway workers.
The Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents train operators, has offered union workers a minimum pay rise of 9% over two years. It said this was the "best and final offer".
