Government ‘coordinating attack on working people’ and seeking to’ ‘ratchet up dispute’, says RMT
The RMT general secretary has defended rail strikes across the UK over Christmas and said unions had a “duty to co-ordinate what they do”, saying government was sending a message that pay rises would only come with worse terms for workers.
Mick Lynch said the government was “coordinating … an attack on working people” by changing working conditions and offering below-inflation pay rises.
