New laws to keep the railways going during strikes could end up making the disruption worse by encouraging more strikes and causing staff shortages, the Government has admitted 🔴 HugoGye, paulwaugh and singharj
New laws to keep the railways going during strikes could end up making the disruption worse byUnion boss Mick Lynch has insisted the stoppages would be “indefinite” and accused Jeremy Hunt of blocking a resolution to the dispute.for much of this month. The Government’s main proposal for a long-term solution is legislation for “minimum service levels”, ensuring that trains continue to run even when strikes are active.
“Rather than forcing through damaging legislation that could exacerbate disruption, the Government should stop grandstanding, show some responsibility, get around the table and start negotiating to avoid disruption.” And he blamed the Government for inserting a demand for driver-only operated trains into negotiations last Sunday, which scuppered the chances of a deal as it is “the policy of the union” that it will “not accept driver-only operation”. He added: “They may as well come in with a fish and slap me round the chops with it.”
