NSW 17,000 rail workers are set to sign a new employment deal after pressuring RailCorp into increasing its wage rise proposal.
Union delegates voted in favour of a new proposal on Wednesday. They will put the deal to members before it is likely to be put to a vote next month.
Under the agreement, workers would get a 4 per cent pay rise in the first year and 3.5 per cent for the next three years.
They would be free from the threat of any forced redundancies for four years and could take any future workplace dispute with RailCorp straight to the federal workplace tribunal, Fair Work Australia.
