Welsh train staff consider strike action over pay

The union said it had rejected a “below inflation” offer of 3.5% for the first year and pay linked to the retail prices index-rate of inflation for year two.

Inflation currently stands at 2.2% under the consumer prices index, but BBC Wales was told it was higher when negotiations began.

TSSA general secretary Maryam Eslamdoust, said: “We are balloting our members for industrial action as a last resort but feel we have no option but to take this course.”

She added: “TfW should be in no doubt that our members are deeply unhappy with the situation – one which the company could alleviate and stop significant disruption to the railways, by making an improved offer which meets our aspirations.”

A spokesperson for TfW said: “We will shortly be meeting with representatives from the TSSA and are confident of working together to find a resolution.”
