TSSA rail workers settle for 9% pay rise, putting pressure on RMT union

Simon Calder

Members of the white-collar Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA) have voted to accept a pay offer from train operators that stipulates significant changes to working practices.

The two-year pay deal is worth at least 9 per cent, and as much as 13 per cent for lower-paid workers. It guarantees no compulsory redundancies before 2025. It is contingent on a range of commitments, including moves to ensure that Sunday services are fully covered, but the union is still set against the closure of station ticket offices.
