Description

The NUR union’s leader Jimmy Knapp is forecasting strong and solid support for the forthcoming 24 hour rail strikes over pay and bargaining conditions. Opening the NUR’s annual conference in Newcastle, he says his members are determined not to accept the seven per cent pay offer imposed on them, nor would they give in to bully boy tactics. Originally from Metro Radio.
