LONDON – A deal may be in sight between British rail unions and train-operating companies to draw to a closeHowever, an agreement with the health care unions to end strikes by nurses and paramedics appears further off and may take some weeks.
At the beginning of the week, ministers held meetings with unions across a range of sectors, though those talks did not immediately lift the threat of further strikes, with ambulance workers holding a second walkout on Wednesday and nurses preparing action next week.Also on Wednesday, the bosses of three rail unions – Aslef, the TSSA and the RMT – told a House of Commons panel that they are not close to resolving their disputes with employers.
“We have had detailed discussions, and we are working jointly towards a revised offer,” they said. “Both parties have agreed to continue discussions over the coming days.” That’s a development that, if true, could help unlock resolution because it is a red line for the unions.RMT chief Mick Lynch told the parliamentary panel on Wednesday that “we will never accept driver-only operation in any company without a fight. It will never happen while I’m the general secretary. It will never happen as long as the RMT exists”.
