RMT general secretary, Bob Crow, said: “Our members made it quite clear with a massive mandate for strike action that they would no longer tolerate low pay at Stagecoach East Midlands.”
“That determination has brought the company back to the table with a significantly better offer, and after consulting the negotiating committee the RMT executive has agreed to put it to the members with a recommendation that they accept it.”
