Mick Lynch’s salary is decided by his members. When he was elected he suggested to his members that he should take a pay cut. They agreed. He doesn’t get any ‘bonuses’. He donates his salary on strike days to the dispute hardship fund. Let’s hope this sinks in.

The Hatfield rail crash was caused by a cracked rail. Left unattended a crack, when it reaches a critical size, can cause the rail to fail. You should be grateful it was noticed and a potential derailment has been avoided. This is why maintenance is so vital.

Wasted an entire day travelling because of some tiny crack on the track that Network Rail are looking at overnight. I mean honestly, this country used to rule the world, now we fall apart over a sodding chip on a rail track.

It's a simple yes or no question, Secretary of State. Did you, at the last minute, insert a Driver Only Operation clause into negotiations to scupper any chance of a deal in the #RailStrikes ?

It’s 4% this year and 4% next, so we wouldn’t be able to negotiate in a year. Our members would be stuck with two below inflation offers, the closure of ticket offices, the removal of the guard and lots of job losses. This is an awful offer and it’s the passenger that loses.

That offer was not to all rail workers. The Network Rail offer included a 5% and 4% pay rise over a two-year period with thousands of job losses, a 50% cut in scheduled maintenance tasks and a 30% increase in unsocial hours. Your tweet, at best, is extremely disingenuous.

🤝 They have been offered a 9% pay rise and, whilst the TSSA (a union) have accepted it, the RMT (another union) have continued to reject it. It’s important that a good, reliable service is offered to those who need to travel – and the RMT’s approach is unacceptable. (3/4)
