Commenting on the announcement of the RMT and TSSA strike between the 6th and 9th April, Welsh Lib Dem Shadow Transport Minister Jenny Randerson AM said:
“This is disastrous news for the travelling public. I would urge the Unions and Network Rail to get back to ACAS as soon as possible to do anything they can to avert this strike.
“This action is likely to be ongoing as the election is called and therefore is likely to become a big issue.
“I think the Unions are likely to lose public sympathy by this action. Essentially they will be cancelling services for an entire working week and they have little hope of coming out of this favourably unless they win the support of the public. This is not the way to do that.”
