How about you be honest! You have deliberately rail roaded the negotiations for over a year! Even the senior management of the companies are fed up of your lies!

The offer has been roundly rejected. By the EC and two ballots for strikes. But you knew the deal offered (released to the press as a ‘done deal’ before the EC could respond) wouldn’t be accepted because you put in all the stuff we TOLD you wouldn’t be accepted.

Was a cold, short walk this morning. Bru decided was too cold to even pop out when we got back!! Did all on TV, so found the New Year day concert by Vienna Philharmonic from Vienna to watch. One bucket list item I’ll never tick off!!!

No contact since April..no meeting with Government since January…prefer to release things to press before the negotiators…won’t return calls, won’t listen to offers to talk…that is NOT open to talks. 2 resounding ASLEF ballot results should give you the picture!!!

ASLEF members continue to vote for further strike action.

The more I think about it, the more infuriating this tweet is.

At best it’s misinformed. At worst it’s political point scoring and gaslighting.

In one tweet he’s shown he doesn’t care about passengers, workers or the industry.

Shall we deconstruct it?

Mark Harper This is ridiculous.
The offer on the table is totally different to RMT’s. Surely you know that?

You’re asking us to vote to make the lowest paid take the same T&Cs as the highest for the smallest amount of pay rise.

Would you take that in any of your jobs?

POST BOTH OFFERS. SIDE BY SIDE.

RMT just received a no strings, 5% pay rise with a view to negotiate TOC by TOC. Perfect.

ASLEF received a 9ish% offer, with ALL terms and conditions under threat on a national agreement. Not perfect.

They are not the same deal!

🐂💩

Mark Harper do us all a favour then. Post both RMT’s and ASLEFs offers side by side and show us all how they’re the same? They’re not. You’re purposefully lying and pushing your narrative. Disgusting, disingenuous, delinquent!

trainline ‼️ Folks !!! ‼️

Are you aware every train operator has their own app where you can buy tickets WITHOUT having to pay the additional booking fee ??

Also, if you can, go see the expert at the ticket office - they may be able to see you a ticket far cheaper than any app will !!

You could alway use your operators own app (no booking fee) or even your local ticket office, staffed with expert staff who can get you a good deal (no booking fee) for your journey.

So…are ASLEF to be the only union not offered suitable pay deal? I don’t think any offer to other unions have come with draconian changes to T&C’s. Come on Mark Harper hey round the table.

Support the UK rail industry? This is what your “support” looks like since you messed around with Network Rail. Your managed decline is causing more harm to the UK rail industry. What a piss take this post is.
