Rail workers have voted to accept a new Network Rail pay offer, their union announced.
Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) members backed the deal by 85% in a ballot. The TSSA said the deal accepted by its members includes a no compulsory redundancy agreement until January 31 2025, and a minimum pay rise of at least £1,750 or 5% (whichever is greater) backdated to January 1 2022, which it said is worth at least 7% to staff earning £25,000 or less.
There will also be a 4% pay increase from January 1 2023, no unagreed changes to terms and conditions, plus more benefits and improvements to work and leisure travel facilities. The union had already suspended strike action.
