Revised pay offer in Scotland goes to union vote

ASLEF staff at ScotRail and the Caledonian Sleeper, both of which were nationalised by the Scottish government two years ago, have been balloted on a revised pay offer.

A ballot that had been due to close on August 29 was withdrawn after the improved offer was made (the details of which have not been disclosed).

Instead, the drivers’ union is holding a referendum on the new offer, with a closing date of September 25.
