New Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan reaching out to unions to try to end strikes
(Picture: PA Wire)New Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan offered on Friday to “work as a family” with rail unions and train bosses to find a compromise to end the wave of strikes blighting the country.
With a shift away from her predecessors’ more confrontational approach, she reached out to the militant RMT and other unions to seek a “landing zone” which would resolve the dispute if all parties “put their best foot forward” .
