RMT union workers back industrial action

The transcript discusses potential strike action by the RMT, which could cause significant disruption to rail services and affect commuters, fuel, and food supplies. The strike is driven by demands for a pay rise, job security, and no compulsory redundancies. While the public understands the reasons, there is a call for negotiations to avoid the strike. The government and Network Rail urge discussions to prevent industrial action, which could have a broad economic impact, including on the staycation industry and daily financial losses for the rail sector.
