'Sensible' proposals would bring an end to the current rail dispute, say union leaders. It comes as passengers prepare for fresh disruption this week ahead of strikes by tens of thousands of workers.
As the long-running disputes over pay, jobs and conditions continue into the new year, members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at Network Rail and 14 train operators will stage two 48-hour walkouts from Tuesday and Friday while drivers in the Aslef union will strike on Thursday.
The heads of the unions involved have accused Government ministers of “sitting on their hands” and failing to help secure a deal amid warnings passengers should expect “significant disruption” with only a limited number of trains set to run.
