RMT Union leader Mick Lynch was praised by viewers of Good Morning Britain for standing his ground today.
More than 40,000 RMT members are expected to take part in new upcoming strikes in the lead up to Christmas. The walkouts are expected to happen on December 13, 14, 16 and 17 and then again in the New Year on January 3, 4, 6 and 7.
It comes as Mr Lynch said there had been no improved offer on jobs, pay and conditions, so more walkouts would go ahead. However, the strikes means disruption for travellers, workers, and shoppers in the run-up to Christmas.
