RMT Union Accepts Pay Deal, Ending 18-Month Dispute

Despite the resolution, rail disruptions expected to continue due to ongoing ASLEF union strike action.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union have voted to accept a pay deal, ending their 18-month dispute with train companies and the government.
The deal includes a backdated pay rise of 5% for 2022-2023 and job security guarantees, with no compulsory redundancies until the end of 2024.
Despite the resolution with the RMT, disruption is still expected as the train drivers' union, ASLEF, continues its industrial action.
The RMT's acceptance of the pay deal means there will be no more walk-outs until at least spring next year.
The Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents train operators, is still engaged in a separate dispute with ASLEF.
