Paul Scully hinted that the government could be looking at a minimum service level for the transport sector adding that the RMT Union's strike is "in no way acceptable".
"You've heard Mick lynch addressing a group of people at a protest talking about a class war you have heard people pushing it back on the fact that ‘oh the conservatives and Boris Johnson want to see the strike’, in no way do we want to see the disruption that is going to be caused by this strike.Map showing the open lines on June 21, 23 and 25. Not all stations will be served, and service levels will be significantly reduced on open lines, from 7.30am to 6.30pm only.
Mr Scully refuted the idea of a complete ban on travel strikes continuing: "I think in terms of how that actually works that is for us to set out in detail later on but essentially there are ways that workers can show their dissatisfaction with their employers without bringing the whole service to a halt."
The RMT Union's says last-ditch talks with the Government failed to resolve a row over pay, jobs and conditions. Downing Street has warned it will be "extremely difficult" commuting during the rail strikes as more than 50% of the rail network will be shut. Considerable disruption is expected, with festival goers, GCSE students and holidaymakers among millions whose plans risk being scuppered - made worse by soaring petrol prices.
It's time the essential services were brought to heel. However much they think they are worth, they should remember that their wages, pensions and everything else comes out of the public purse. Ask the public for a rise, I'll bet the answer is f**k off!
Yes and be ignored. Withdrawal of Labour is the only way to get through to the greedy bas*ards running the show. It’s an act of desperation. Support the rail workers. Support the right to strike. And let’s have it right, you and your lot have made it very difficult to strike!
Strikes are the only thing stopping big business from raping it’s employees of their rights.
Ban the union! Particularly RMT !
