Negotiate now to stop Christmas rail strikes - Randerson

Commenting on the announcement of rail strike action by Members of the RMT Union in South Wales in the run up to Christmas, Welsh Lib Dem Shadow Transport Minister, Jenny Randerson AM said:

"What is important is that negotiations begin immediately to divert strikes in the run up to Christmas.

"Passengers are already facing delays through maintenance work at this key time for the travelling public, and any further disruption to services will lead to huge and justified anger.

"Negotiations need to begin immediately using ACAS if necessary. The unions must recognise that getting the public on board with their cause will not happen if they are left stranded on railway platforms, especially over Christmas."
