Unite the union has confirmed today (6 August) that it has launched an industrial action ballot involving hundreds of its engineering members at Abellio Scotrail as pay talks with the company have collapsed.

The ballot, which will open on 11 August and close on 1 September, follows the failure by Abellio Scotrail to make a meaningful pay offer, as well as the company withdrawing a number of entitlements from workers including the Rest Day Working Agreement with Unite in April 2020 for engineering workers. The Dutch firm initially withdrew it for drivers but later reinstated it.
