The paralysis of the British railways due to the strike.
The leader of the largest trade union of British railway workers requested a special meeting with the authorities to deal with the crisis after the workers of this sector continued to strike.
The leader of the largest trade union of railway workers in England, in a letter to the Minister of Transport of this country, called for a meeting between the union and the authorities of this country to resolve the chaotic situation due to the continuation of the strike in this sector.
According to the “National News” database, “Mick Lynch”, the general secretary of the “Rail, Sea and Land Transport” union of England, in a letter to “Mark Harper”, the Minister of Transport of this country, called for a meeting between unions, employers And the government asked to resolve the “poisonous” dispute between the two sides.
The workers of this union stopped work on Saturday at the same time as the “Eurovision Song” music competition was held in Liverpool and while another strike by the train drivers, a member of the “ASLF” union, paralyzed the British railway network. The British transport minister accused the strikers of deliberately targeting the Eurovision Song Contest with their strike, but the Rail, Sea and Land Transport union denied the accusation.
In his letter to the British Transport Secretary, Lynch wrote that it is clear to his union members and “the public at large that the private sector train business has failed.”
“Yet your government’s actions so far have made this failure 10 times worse and created chaos on our railways, and this way of handling the rail dispute in England threatens to cause lasting damage to the rail transport industry,” he wrote.
