Rail, Maritime and Transport workers union is striking again – affecting trains and Tube.
As we have seen only too often in recent months, it is wrong that strikes are preventing hard-working people and families up and down the country from getting to work, doctors’ appointments and school. “The issues in this dispute are not going away and neither are we. On the railways and Tube - by virtue of And the rolling stock will, next day, be in the wrong place. “We want a settlement to these disputes where our members and their families can get a square deal. General secretary Mick Whelan said: “They are telling train drivers to take a real terms pay cut. Tim Shoveller, Network Rail’s chief negotiator, said: “A two-year 8pc deal, with discounted travel and a new extended job guarantee to January 2025, is on the table ready to be put to our staff. In what the union claimed was a “dramatic U-turn, Network Rail bosses reneged on their promises of an improved pay offer and sought to impose job cuts, more unsocial hours and detrimental changes to rosters”. In developing these options, we have been clear that if any change has to be progressed then this would require appropriate consultation and further work before any decisions can be made.” “Me and my team remain available for serious talks and continue to negotiate in good faith. Signal workers are included in those striking - and it is dangerous to run services without signal workers. We have not yet received official notification of this action from the RMT.

Less than a fifth of trains ran on strike days. “That reality is not going to change anytime soon and a fair and affordable and improved deal is on the table, ready to be implemented if our people were only offered the opportunity.” “Unfortunately, the leadership of the RMT seem intent on more damaging strikes rather than giving their members a vote on our offer. RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “The dishonesty of Network Rail bosses has reached a new low in this national rail dispute. The RMT said Network Rail bosses had “reneged on their promises of an improved pay offer and sought to impose job cuts, more unsocial hours and detrimental changes to rosters”. Train managers on Avanti West Coast who are members of the RMT are set to strike on Saturday 22 October and Sunday 6 November in a dispute over rosters being imposed.
Members of the union previously walked out earlier this month, causing the worst rail disruption of the year so far.
“Our railway is in desperate need of modernisation but all more strikes will do is take it back to the dark ages and push passengers further away. In response, Tim Shoveller, Network Rail’s chief negotiator, said: “A two-year eight per cent deal, with discounted travel and a new extended job guarantee to January 2025, is on the table ready to be put to our staff. Our members are livid with these duplicitous tactics, and they will now respond in kind with sustained strike action.” “Our members are livid with these duplicitous tactics, and they will now respond in kind with sustained strike action. RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “The dishonesty of Network Rail bosses has reached a new low in this national rail dispute. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union have announced further strikes that are set to take place in just a few weeks' time.
The union called out Network Rail for 'performing a U-turn on pay offer' and attempting to 'rehash a previous deal' that had been rejected.
“This stands in stark contrast to rail operating company bosses making millions of pounds in profit. “Our sector has a £2 billion hole in its budget with many fewer passengers using our services. RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “Throughout this whole dispute, the Rail Delivery Group has been completely unreasonable by not offering our members any deal on pay, conditions and job security. Additionally, it has been anounced that staff at 14 other train companies are due to strike on 3 and 5 November. “In a crass attempt to cut the union out of national negotiations, Network Rail have written directly to staff undermining delicate talks and have tried to rehash a previous deal that RMT has categorically rejected,” RMT said in a statement. Members of the RMT will walk out on November 3, 5 and 7, and, in separate disputes, RMT members on London Overground and London Underground will strike on November 3.
