TRAIN drivers’ union Aslef is to consult its members after receiving an improved pay offer from ScotRail.
The publicly owned operator has proposed a 4.2 per cent increase and a package of improved conditions, which the union will put to members.
Drivers previously rejected an offer of a 2.2 per cent.
The new proposal adds a further 2 per cent increase in basic pay to the previous offer, which included a 2.2 per cent rise in basic pay and an uplift of £500 to the driver instructor allowance, plus a 10 per cent increase in drivers’ Sunday working allowance.
Aslef Scottish organiser Kevin Lindsay said: “Aslef entered these talks in good faith. We have negotiated a pay offer of 4.2 per cent, a three-year no compulsory redundancy deal and a number of other improvements.
“These will now be put to our members for their consideration.”
ScotRail service delivery director David Simpson said: “We’re pleased that Aslef will now put the offer to its members.
“Our substantially improved pay offer reflects the cost-of-living challenges faced by families across the country, while balancing it against the need to provide value for the taxpayer.”
