The RMT said it has ‘reached a settlement’ in the long-running dispute over career progression at the West of Scotland Signalling Centre.
The union held strikes earlier this year which saw services disrupted across Scotland.
The RMT said discussions and negotiations with the union have been ongoing since management ‘decided to ignore a long term custom and practice arrangement’ concerning the filling of vacancies.
As a result of those negotiations a ‘form of words has now finally been agreed and signed off between RMT and Network Rail management which has resolved the dispute’.
RMT General Secretary Bob Crow said:
“The negotiated settlement to this dispute has only been possible as a result of the determination and solidarity shown by RMT members at the West of Scotland Signalling Centre.
“RMT members have stood together during this difficult period to demonstrate to management in the strongest possible terms that they will not accept blatant disregard for a long agreement over the application of career progression agreements.
“The whole union applauds our members for supporting the massively successful, rock solid strike action which has forced management to hold serious and meaningful negotiations with RMT to resolve the issue.”
