Train strike dispute still resolvable, says industry boss

The strikes will take place at the same time as several large public events, including the first Glastonbury Festival for three years

Steve Montgomery, chair of the Rail Delivery Group, said more talks were planned for Monday - and that management wanted to work with unions on pay increases and reform. "Ultimately we do want to give our people a pay increase... but we have to get on with reform, and that helps us deliver the next phase of giving people a pay rise."

"We need both parties around the table and we really require details and an acceptance that reform can go ahead," he said.

This is really bad news because getting on time to my Thursday GCSE will be a big issue now!

Whilst appreciating the inconvenience, I wholly support the strike. People are fighting for their jobs and their livelihoods. We’ve become too complacent at just accepting things

It's not the bosses who worry me it's the government blaming the opposition for this strike FFS . They are F***ing useless.

'We're not asking for the world': RMT calls for 7% pay rise as train strike talks continueThe RMT has defended its upcoming rail strikes and says it's 'not asking for the world' as it called for a seven per cent pay rise in line with the rising costs of living. You already have better pay and terms so NO. Even saying the government want you to strike, call their bluff and cancel it if that's true? No did not think so. Join the queue AFTER Nurses,Doctors, Fire service, police and me ! Striking for pay rises. This is how the winter of discontent happened in 1979 when copycat strikers demanded huge payrises after other industrys got them. Boll*cks, they don't car a jot about the heartache that this strike will cause, they are just looking after No.1 as usual and f*ck to the rest of the world. Just look at the chaos they created in the 70's with their ridiculous pay demands and strikes. The RMT is evil
