'It is important to put the pay situation into context. While they plead poverty, we have examples of three senior directors who are happy to award themselves +40% pay rises allowing them to reach near seven figure salaries. This is indicative of a corporate culture not just at Network Rail but across the rail industry where it’s one rule for the bosses and one rule for the workers. It’s time to say enough is enough and vote yes for action!!
What we know is their latest offer will see your pay fail to keep up with inflation and fails to give adequate job security. Network Rail made a £1.2 billion profit last year, double the previous year, and we believe you deserve fair reward for the hard work and long unsociable hours you do to keep the network running.'
