RMT calls for urgent summit with Sturgeon over pay at Scotrail

THE RMT has demanded an urgent summit with Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to discuss the rail union’s long-running battle for pay justice for Scotrail workers.

The call came as conductors and ticket examiners continued strike action yesterday.

Recent failed talks with Transport Minister Graeme Dey showed that the Scottish government “continues to refuse to treat rail workers equally with other public-sector workers and instead is treating these essential workers with contempt,” the RMT said.

Officials said it was time that Ms Sturgeon personally agreed to a summit with the RMT in order to achieve her stated goal of finding a solution to ongoing disputes.

General secretary Mick Lynch said: “The First Minister has put on record her wish for a resolution to these disputes to be found ‘as quickly as possible,’ and we now need her to agree to our request for an urgent summit so that we can make progress on reaching a fair resolution to these disputes.”
