Picket lines at Newcastle Central Station are getting 'amazing public support' on the second day of the the RMT strike.
Network Rail staff and staff working for train operators are on strike as part of three days of industrial action with the aim of not only improving their pay and working conditions, but also keeping their jobs secure. The strike has gone ahead for a second day after the RMT accused Transport Secretary Grant Shapps of "wrecking negotiations" yesterday.
The Government has made a number of proposals which a union member has described as 'increasingly incendiary,' and Network Rail informed the RMT that it will formally begin the process to lay off up to 1,800 members of staff by the end of the coming month.
