Can't see GTR in a million years offering RMT anything more than they offered ASLEF. In fact, GTR's whole demeanour to date suggests they regard RMT as pretty much irrelevant to their business goals. GTR are only worried about the drivers coming out on strike. That makes the national news. Not that the drivers pussy union leaders give GTR much to worry about. Hopefully ASLEF members will provide a harsh reality check to the guys whose union salaries they pay.

Can't disagree with any of that.

But if drivers vote against the union that makes national news and GTR staff become public enemy #1 .....

Of course if a significant number of drivers defect from Aslef to join the RMT brings another scenario into play

why aren't a significant number already in RMT, isn't is something like 12 out of ~1000 drivers?

Course they can, just cancel their direct debit and join the BIG boys at the RMT. The RMT have had a presence as local reps so should have been in with the talks anyway

OK, guess times have changed, had problems doing this back in 80s, but maybe I was given bullish*t ..... anyways, agree RMT should have been in talks

Had my compensation email through overnight as did another pal of mine. Check your email folks. You have until the 31st March to claim it.

can they do that though?

They'll do anything to cause massive disruption to innocent commuters. They've obviously been fed up of having to WORK for a change.

Shame as the trains have been pretty decent for the last few weeks
