The possibility of strike action being taken by staff on Scotland’s railway has become more likely, after union members rejected a pay deal.
The RMT union - whose members include ticket examiners, conductors and station staff - said on Thursday that 60% of members who voted in a ballot rejected a deal that would increase pay by 5% and create a revenue sharing programme.
According to the Scotsman, RMT organiser Mick Hogg said failure to reach a better deal during meetings next week could result in a ballot for strike action.
