Why are railway workers going on strike in June?

RMT strikes have been carried out for various reasons after negotiations failed to approve the union plan.

RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said:

“We are facing a cost of living crisis and it is unacceptable for rail workers to lose their jobs or freeze wages for another year when inflation is rising at 11.1%.

“Our union launches a sustainable campaign of industrial activity to close the rail system.

“Railway companies earn at least £500m a year, but big rail bosses pay out millions of dollars during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“This injustice reinforces the anger of our members and their determination to reach a just reconciliation.

“RMT agrees to important negotiations with railway bosses and ministers, but they need to make new proposals to avoid months of delays on our railways.”
