RAIL STRIKES

Union has been fair

I think Steve Mackinder was a bit over the top in his condemnation of the RMT union and the rail strikes. First of all, it was an inconvenience for the general public but the union gave at least two weeks’ notice of the strikes. I think the union were being very reasonable. They gave out three dates so that people could make other arrangements. Carnage in the Oxford English Dictionary means the killing of a large number of people, which is not the appropriate word to use this time, Steve!
