The RMT union's Mick Lynch joins Nick Ferrari to reflect on one year of rail strikes:
00:00 “I’ve been losing money in the strike, how much have you lost?”
00:47 “Are you losing the country’s support?”
02:53 “What’s the point doing anything with this government when they’re a lame duck government?”
04:18 “Do you think if all the unions got together you would have a better chance?”
06:08 “What about a national strike?”
07:11 “Are your members skivers?”
08:04 “Are you going to Glastonbury?”

If people have an issue they should be writing to their politicians... Mentioning the RMT in impacting food banks is a government issue as well as the strikes.

Mike needs to highlight the point that it's not only a pay dispute, but also includes pushing back against maintenance cuts on the railway. Have people already forgotten the consequences we suffered last time maintenance schedules were cut?

The strikes are incredibly inconvenient BUT I will never believe the right wing press who claim people who go on strike are just being selfish. If workers feel they're not earning enough to make a comfortable living for themselves and their families then I fully support them.
