Will 10% pay offer end the rail strike deadlock? Officials 'look into improving existing 8% offer'

Daily Mail  

That's more than the current offer to rail workers of 8 per cent over two years Ministers could offer a 10 per cent pay rise to the RMT union to end strikes A pay offer of 10 per cent could be tabled by ministers in a bid to reach a breakthrough with the RMT rail union, it emerged today. A pay offer of 10 per cent could be tabled by ministers in a bid to reach a breakthrough with the RMT rail union, it emerged today Even if a deal is struck between the RMT and 14 train operators, facilitated by ministers, the union’s dispute with Network Rail will continue. The RMT also failed to communicate the ‘graduated nature’ of the deal, Network Rail bosses say, and claim it is worth the equivalent of 14 per cent for lower-paid workers. Last week the union was offered an 8 per cent pay rise offer over two years, meaning a driver’s average salary would go from £60,000 to £65,000.
