Railway union leader Mick Lynch will make a speech at this year's Durham Miners' Gala.
The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) General Secretary says it is a "great honour" to be added to the list of speakers at the upcoming Big Meeting, which returns after a Covid break and is dedicated to key workers. The gala will be held on Saturday, July 9 in Durham.
Mr Lynch recently led RMT members on a three-day train strike. They are still in dispute with operators and Network Rail.
