Union-bashing Tory ministers were accused of a “dereliction of duty” today as Labour said they and rail workers’ leaders had not met for three months.
Boris Johnson blasted “union barons” who will “add to people’s costs” ahead of a walkout at 13 train companies and Network Rail on June 21, 23 and 25.
