The strikes at 14 train operators could throw Eurovision travel plans into jeopardy
Rail workers are set to stage another walkout on the day of the Eurovision song contest final next month.
The RMT said the offer included a first-year payment of 5 per cent but only if the union terminated its industrial mandate, meaning no further strike action could take place.The union said discussions would then have to begin without it having any industrial leverage at the negotiating table. . RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “The RDG have reneged on their original proposals and torpedoed these negotiations. No doubt their decision is due to pressure exerted on them by the Tory Government.
“We are re-balloting our members and if we beat the draconian anti-trade union laws on turnout, we will have a renewed mandate for action.
