Trade unionism is experiencing a revival few thought possible – and one that shows no signs of stopping. Is it time for Labour to listen up?
RMT members in each of the train operating companies involved in the row will vote on a suggested agreement.
“The whole thing is designed so that they can force this through in a way that they want.”

Unions have raised fresh safety concerns over the closure of ticket offices ahead of a protest on the eve of the final day of consultation.

"The public response to the Government wanting to shut every ticket office in Britain has been very encouraging", Mick Lynch said.
The RMT general secretary took aim at the Labour leader for his stance on policies such as tackling public sector pay disputes.
Mick Lynch said rail staff were being threatened by managers over the wearing of stickers protesting at the closure of ticket offices.
