Train drivers are set to bring parts of Britain's rail network to a halt again next month after the ASLEF union rejected a fresh pay offer.
The Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents train operators, said it was offering a 'landmark outline proposal' that would see a pay increase of 4 percent for 2022 and 4 percent for this year.
Transport Secretary Mark Harper urged union leaders to come to the negotiating table and said the government has offered a “very fair pay offer”.
The 'fat cat' union baron, who reportedly receives more than £120,000 a year in pay and other benefits, said the 'vast majority' of RMT members are on 'below £32,000' in an interview with Lorraine.
The journeys of millions of people will be hit this week as militant rail unions launch yet more strikes that are set to create the worst disruption in three decades.
