RMT threatens strike

The RMT transport union is warning of strike action over government plans to recruit volunteers to assist with social distancing at railway stations.

RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: “[The] RMT is furious that the Department for Transport has done a backroom deal to recruit unpaid and unskilled workers on our railway without even so much as conversation with rail unions.”
