RMT strikes at ScotRail have been suspended after an improved pay offer.
The union is to ballot its members on a 5% rise plus an extra £750, which is £250 more than the previous offer.
ScotRail said it meant wages would rise by 7.5% for staff such as conductors and ticket examiners, with an 8.5% increase for lower-paid workers.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail's head of customer operations, said he welcomed RMT members being able to "have a say on our very strong pay offer".
The BBC says the RMT ballot on whether to accept the increased offer will run for the next two weeks.
In other strike news yesterday:
- Scotland's health secretary has warned strike action by nurses would be "catastrophic" for the NHS. Humza Yousaf said the industrial action backed by the country's largest nursing union was not inevitable and he wanted further talks on a new pay deal. Mr Yousaf suggested there was scope to redistribute the existing £480million budget for NHS pay rises, but that no extra funding was available. Strike action is expected to start by the end of the year. Members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in Scotland have followed a number of other health unions in rejecting the Scottish government's revised pay offer. The RCN has said talks with health boards about deploying nurses in life-preserving services such as intensive care during any strike action are under way.
- Teachers in Scotland will stage a 24-hour walkout on November 24 after voting overwhelmingly to strike in a dispute over pay. Members of the EIS union rejected a 5% pay offer, saying they wanted 10%. EIS general secretary Andrea Bradley said they had become "increasingly angry over their treatment" by employers and the Scottish Government. Deputy First Minister John Swinney previously said there was no more money to fund public sector pay rises.
- Around 100,000 British civil servants have voted to strike over pay and conditions, the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union has announced. The threshold for strike action was met in 126 areas, from border force officials to driving-test examiners. The PCS is calling for a 10% pay rise, better pensions, job security and no cuts to redundancy terms. Details will be announced on November 18 if there are no "substantial" government proposals, the PCS said.
