Mick Lynch, the RMT union leader, asserted, "All things being equal, we are expecting a parallel, synchronised offer to that of Aslef. All indications are that we will be offered the same terms as Aslef, and we are expecting that it will be delivered." He emphasized the necessity for equitable treatment among railway workers to avoid any potential issues arising from differential pay offers.
The RMT union highlighted that under a prior deal, RMT members were offered a backdated 5% pay rise for last year, mirroring the proposal for Aslef members, yet this year’s pay increase hinges on formal negotiations; the expectation is to secure a 4% rise, which is still less than Aslef's 4.75%.
