RMT Press Office:

‎RMT's Mick Cash reacts to Shadow Transport Secretary Andy McDonald unveiling Labour transport priorities at union AGM today

RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said;

"It is hugely significant that Andy McDonald has used the platform of ‎RMT's AGM to map out his plans for a publicly owned transport system that puts the workforce right at the centre. That is a massive change after nearly 25 years of privatisation and deregulation which has been loaded towards the interests of big business with passengers and staff kicked to the sidelines.

"RMT also welcomes Labour support for our campaign for travel facilities for all rail workers.

"With an election now looking imminent RMT will push our agenda for rail, buses and maritime right under the spotlight and we will fight to turn the tide on a generation of profiteering under successive governments."
