Good Morning Britain viewers have reacted following an interview on the ITV news programme on Thursday where the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers general secretary, Mick Lynch, shut down claims he was on a "six-figure salary" and branded it "completely untrue". Mick joined the ITV news programme on August 18 where he was interviewed by Kate Garraway and ITV news journalist Paul Brand - who was making his GMB debut.
It comes as members of the public have been warned of further travel disruption today, as RMT members at Network Rail and 14 train operators, TSSA members at seven companies, and Unite members at NR stage strikes. It follows a long-running dispute over pay, job security and working conditions, The Mirror reports.
RMT general secretary Mick appeared live from a picket line in London, as tens of thousands of workers join the latest walk-outs. Paul Brand asked: “What support are you giving members? Because you’re on a six-figure salary. I’m not going to demonise you for that this morning, there is many a politicians on a six-figure salary.”
