Some 40,000 workers from 14 train companies and Network Rail are striking in an ongoing dispute over pay, jobs and conditions
Speaking with the BBC’s flagship morning news programme, Radio 4’s Today, Network Rail’s chief executive said he believed RMT negotiators were being overruled by those at the top of the union, and the deal should be put to the membership.
Andrew Haines said:
We think we were making good progress, and this has happened twice now, when the negotiators go back to talk to the RMT executive, we suddenly get a shift in tone and we end up with more strikes.
