I'm getting really disillusioned with RMT regarding this strike. By doing joint negotiations with Maintenance staff of which there are more than Signallers it means signallers can be constantly outvoted even though practically every one I've spoken to wants to accept the latest pay deal. I feel Mick Lynch has done this deliberately to prolong the strike and is using signallers as his attack dogs as we have the most immediate effect when it comes to industrial action. It also means that maintenance staff can outvote us when they just want a pay deal and we're fighting for our terms and conditions. I don't mind fighting for signallers but I don't see why I should do it for other sections of the company. We haven't been asked if we want it this way, the RMT is looking like anything but a democratic union at the moment. What do others think?
