SCOTLAND’S most senior trade unionist has written to the Scottish government demanding it intervene in a dispute between franchise operators and rail workers.

STUC general secretary Roz Foyer has said the government must step in to ensure ScotRail and Caledonian Sleeper staff are offered a fair resolution. 

RMT members across Scotland have taken strike action in multiple disputes in recent months, with concerns over pay justice and a lack of financial offers from operators Abellio and Serco.
