Cash warns of national strike over railway pensions dispute

THE leader of the biggest rail workers’ union has warned of a national strike in a dispute over pensions.

Rail union RMT’s general secretary Mick Cash spoke out against any move to cut benefits or increase employee contributions.

In a letter to RMT members Mr Cash highlights news that Stagecoach has been disqualified from recent rail franchise bids as a result of the company putting in non-compliant bids in relation to pensions.
