My personal feeling is the RMT▸ looked at what the Fire Fighters have been awarded and taken a view if its good enough for one public sector then its good enough for another.
Will the RMT hold onto all of its members, at some locations there is some unease within the RMT members
FBU is balloting all its members on the offer. If a ballot's good enough for one public sector union then surely it's good enough for another? The difference being the offers made to the respective unions are not identical. That's one interesting way of looking at it! It’s the only way of looking at it! Correct me if I’m wrong, the offer made to the FBU is unconditional. Again, correct me if I’m wrong, a previous unconditional pay offer was previously rejected. The RMT or ASLEF» have never been in that position.

RMT▸ Press Release PRESS RELEASE: 15 February 2023
RMT Press Office:
Rail union RMT, will take nationwide strike action across the railways on 16 March after employers refused to put any new offers on the table.
The union which represents 40,000 workers across Network Rail and 14 train operators rejected offers from employers last week, as they did not meet the needs of members on pay, job security or working conditions.
Rail workers will now launch a programme of strike action and Network Rail members will commence an overtime ban effecting maintenance and operations work.
RMT is seeking an unconditional offer from rail operators and Network Rail.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "Rail employers are not being given a fresh mandate by the government to offer our members a new deal on pay, conditions and job security.
"Therefore, our members will now take sustained and targeted industrial action over the next few months.
"The government can settle this dispute easily by unshackling the rail companies.
"However, its stubborn refusal to do so will now mean more strike action across the railway network and a very disruptive overtime ban.
"Ministers cannot continue to sit on their hands hoping this dispute will go away as our members are fully prepared to fight tooth and nail for a negotiated settlement in the months ahead."
END

Nothing to prevent anyone unhappy with the dates announced from crossing a picket and booking on.

Nothing to prevent anyone unhappy with the dates announced from crossing a picket and booking on. It's never as simple as it sounds for an individual, it is known that so called "black legs" will be ostracised by their work colleges for years for people in safety critical rolls could lead to dangerous occupancies. There is disquiet within some NR» work locations, there have been people leave the RMT▸ . The RMT move to ban overtime for NR staff could backfire

Nothing to prevent anyone unhappy with the dates announced from crossing a picket and booking on. When you see staff members that are still ostracised 41 years on after coming in during the 1982 dispute, that’s not entirely true.

That says a great deal more about those doing the ostracising than the staff members who went to work.
