RMT boss calls for meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak over rail strikes

The RMT is involved in two sets of talks - one with Network Rail and one with the train operating companies, represented by the Rail Delivery Group.

"We have a duty to explore every possible option for settling this dispute and I'm willing to do my part. I hope you will agree to meet me." In its offer to the union, it said that it would allow staff on board to focus on other safety issues, as well as looking after customers or selling tickets. He did not directly answer, saying reform was necessary to drive the savings but he was "not going to provide a running commentary".

Ask Mick Lynch to No10, when he knocks don’t open it, eventually he has to walk away. Get the message Mick?

Isn't the PM already on his hols?

Not surprised as any sympathy they did have is rapidly disappearing and I for one am sick to the back teeth of those dirtbags making problems for folks always at difficult times

That’ll be a no! Talk to the employers not the minister and definitely not the PM. Back in yer box bolshie.

Who does he think he is? Absolute joker. You've blown it Lynch unless you call off the Christmas strikes. You're turning the public against you now.

How come the RMT and Royal Mail unions still act as if the Government own these companies when they don’t

You're Media Should Be Voice To Voiceless For The Oromoo People Which Lives In Ethiopia Empire This People Suffer From The Massacred From The Savage Group Amhara Fano💚💛❤️ Cross The Border Of Oromia❤️💚❤️ And Until Known It Kill Innocent Oromoo People And Displaced Them

nope the government should never meet the militant RMT Union again, just blank them. the law needs changing so we can sack all strikers, their demands are too absurd for words

Better to call off Christmas strikes. What a shower these unions are.

Saying the truth, my family visited me last month and next visit will be in January and March Not even once I considered rail for travel, the least reliable and the most expensive. Damage done by strikes

Rishi Sunak on strike action: ‘We’re looking at tough new laws’Rishi Sunak on strike action: “What I’m not going to do is ask ordinary families up and down the country to pay an extra £1,000 a year to meet the pay demands of the union bosses.' PGMcNamara reports. PGMcNamara How much are we having to pay because of all the money embezzled, lost or given away corruptly? PGMcNamara RishiSunak So what you’re saying is Rail, Dr’s, Nurses, Postal workers are not ordinary people? Perhaps you should look at your pay packet which is funded by said people. Perhaps you should ask every politician up & down the UK to take a pay cut & stop claiming for expenses…. PGMcNamara The usual divisive drivel from the tories masquerading in desperation as the protectors of ordinsry people, they can find money when THEY need it, they just don't get it, it's the country v the incompetent tory govt.
