Planned Rail Strike Suspended Following Pay Offer
Planned strikes by Network Rail workers have been suspended after a new 2% pay offer was made, according to the arbitration service Acas.
Network Rail workers planned a 24 hour strike which was due to start at 5pm on Thursday.
An Acas spokesperson said: "After four days of intensive talks, Acas has helped Network Rail, RMT, TSSA and Unite formulate a set of revised proposals that the trade unions will now take away to consider.
"Recognising this, the RMT has agreed to suspend the industrial action planned for this week and next."
