Rail workers to strike on 13 May on Eurovision final
Rail workers are to strike next month after the RMT union rejected the latest pay deal from train operators.Train operators said they had been "blindsided" by the strike, and denied union claims they had changed their offer.on 12 and 31 May, and on 3 June, the day of the FA Cup Final.
But Steve Montgomery, chair of the RDG Group said the union was "negotiating in bad faith, again denying their members a say on a fair pay deal, needlessly disrupting the lives of millions of our passengers, and undermining the viability of an industry critical to Britain's economy".Previous strikes had been called off when it was clear a new offer from the train firms was on its way.
There were no train strikes in the diary this morning. Now there are four, some of them falling on the day of major sport and music events. There's more misery for passengers on the way - hitting confidence in railway travel again - and workers will lose more pay.
