The general secretary of the main rail union has told MPs that talks to settle the long and bitter rail disputes cannot continue if “driver-only operation” (DOO) is on the agenda.
Mick Lynch, general secretary of the RMT, told the cross-party Transport Select Committee: “We will not accept driver-only operation in any company without a fight. We will never sign up to accepting DOO. It will never happen while I am general secretary. It will never happen as long as the RMT exists.”
