Awake Goy The rail network was brought to a standstill today as thousands of RMT and TSSA members walked out over jobs, pay, pensions and other conditions.
RMT is in dispute with Network Rail and 14 train operators while TSSA is striking at Avanti West Coast.
Speaking from the Euston picket line, RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said the union had received an “inadequate” pay offer from Network Rail last week.
He said: “It’s a pay offer over three years which is nowhere near the rate of inflation.
“And the conditions that they wish to impose on that are not acceptable to the members.”
TSSA general secretary Manuel Cortes told Transport Secretary Grant Shapps to “get out of the way or get involved directly in talks. I don’t care which one it is, but unless he does that we’ve got no way to reach a settlement.”
