Until we get tangible outcome, action will be on, says RMT leader after talks with transport secretary. The RMT's Mick Lynch said that rail strikes planned around Christmas would still go ahead but added that the union had started a dialogue after a first meeting with the new transport secretary, Mark Harper. The Rail, Maritime and Transport union general secretary said he did not expect the secretary of state to be at the table but had been promised a constructive letter setting out his position and said Harper had got rid of the bellicose nonsense from one of his predecessors, Grant Shapps.
