RAIL union RMT steamed into the EU referendum campaign yesterday, urging members to break with Brussels to “end attacks on workers’ rights.”
The union set out six key reasons why it is advising members to support an exit left from the EU in the referendum on June 23.
It warned that new EU rail policies will “further entrench rail privatisation and fragmentation” which will make it impossible to bring Britain’s railways back into public ownership and lead to worse pay and conditions for staff. And the union said it was a “myth” that the European Union had improved workers’ rights.
