Ms Truss pledged to change the law to raise this to 50 per cent, half the workforce, voting “yes” for a strike to go ahead. Pressed on whether the rapid churn of prime ministers and transport secretaries in recent months has played a role, he said: “I think the global pandemic was the largest impact on this legislation.”
The RMT were urged by No 10 to accept Network Rail’s offer of a 4 per cent pay rise to follow this year’s 5 per cent, and no compulsory redundancies until 2025, rather than the union’s “unaffordable” double-digit demands.understands that for higher demands to be met, it could require either greater taxpayer subsidy, which the Treasury is likely to oppose, or higher fares, which the Government has promised to hold below inflation when annual increases are announced in the coming weeks.
