Can’t read it, it’s behind a paywall.

The title and few sentences that stay open for a few seconds say it all Harry.
This isn’t a road transport friendly administration and smashing, or at least castrating, the rail unions is obviously all part of the government’s plan for rail (freight).
The government knows that train drivers wont want to trade train driving for truck driving/warehouse work in the new local rail hub to supermarket warehouse shunting utopia that the government is obviously pushing.Even if their wages are halved.
The government will just play off ASLEF v RMT and RMT will lose.
Bearing in mind that driving a freight train is probably an easier and better job than passenger services and my bet is ASLEF hold the freight jobs and their members will throw RMT under the train.
Which is karma for what all of them want to do to the road transport industry.

I see that today MP’s have been united in their condemnation of proposed strikes calling the RMT both greedy and selfish. They may have a point, or perhaps they should remember the old adage of glass houses etc. Below is a graph of Mp’s pay rises over the last few years.

The LabCon uniparty showing its true colours.Nothing will be allowed to stand in the way of the plan for rail.
