RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch Quizzed On Whether He's a Marxist Amid Biggest Rail Strike | GMB

Strike by over 50,000 railway workers across the UK in what RMT describes as the 'biggest dispute on the network since 1989'. Today's action is followed by two more walkouts this Thursday and Saturday. The union claims that Network Rail and the train operating companies have subjected their staff to 'multiyear pay freezes and plan to cut thousands of jobs which will make the railways unsafe'. RMT says that despite 'intense talks' with rail bosses, it has not been able to secure a pay proposal nor a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies. RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch says: “Rail companies are making at least £500m a year in profits, whilst fat cat rail bosses have been paid millions during the Covid-19 pandemic. This unfairness is fuelling our members' anger and their determination to win a fair settlement.”
