Re: Union Battleground : Election Starts Today

A letter to RMT general secretary Mick Lynch on Saturday afternoon, the Transport Secretary said the railway operator's proposal of an*8%*pay rise over two years is "fair" and members should have the opportunity to resolve the dispute.

It seems fair to suggest all the workforce get a vote on the above , not allow a small group of wealthy union leaders who can afford to stay out , to dictate .. this type of union procedures is undemocratic, what is the union worried about..

If inflation returns to normality ie 3% will they repay the wage offer ??

My understanding this dispute is not just about pay.
My understanding that the change in rules being proposed would push to make disputes about just that. Throw a pay rise and stuff the conditions.
