The Marxist Leader of the RMT is not finished yet
In a turnout of nearly 90%, members voted by 76% to 24% in favour, signalling an end to the bitter row, which led to a series of strikes in recent months.
The union said the deal includes an uplift on salaries of between 14.4% for the lowest paid grades to 9.2% for the highest paid, increased backpay, a no compulsory redundancy agreement until January 2025 and rail travel benefits.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “Strike action and the inspiring solidarity and determination of members has secured new money and a new offer which has been clearly accepted by our members and that dispute is now over.
Our dispute with the train operating companies remains firmly on and our members' recent highly effective strike action across the 14 train companies has shown their determination to secure a better deal

Yes for now he will find an excuse to do it again IMO in the not too distant future, I wonder how many other workers have lost their jobs because of him He has done what he is paid to do - fight for his members to get a decent pay rise in line with inflation and protect his members jobs. If what has now been offered was on the table in the first place there never would have been any strikes. So whose fault is that? The employers of course. |
