Co-presenter of Good Morning Britain Richard Madeley has been slammed for his comments over planned rail strikes later this month. It comes after railway workers have voted to strike in a dispute over jobs, pay and working conditions.
The strike has the backing of Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union at Network Rail and 15 train operators. Boss of RMT, Mick Lynch, appeared on the ITV morning programme to discuss why workers are wanting to strike.
The Liverpool Echo reports that rail employees have not had a pay rise in three years and the cost of living crisis is damaging workers. Yet Richard Madeley slammed the union describing the strike as "holding the public to hostage".
