ScotRail tables offer to avert staff walkouts

SCOTRAIL has tabled an offer aimed at averting two strikes before Christmas which will be considered by union leaders today.

More than 2000 members of the Rail Maritime and Transport union are due to walk out on Saturday and again on Christmas Eve, threatening major disruption for shoppers and passengers travelling home for Christmas.

RMT members on the firm's sleeper services are also set to strike for 24 hours from the evening of December 21 and again from the evening of December 23.
