The RMT Union's General Secretary Mick Lynch tells Dr David Bull and Renee Hoenderkamp that he's in solidarity with Ukrainian railway workers and Ukrainian people.
"We have not targeted Eurovision... we don't dictate when Eurovision is, we haven't said that we want to interfere with that."
The leader of the biggest rail workers’ union has called for a special summit to tackle the “chaos” in the industry amid escalating strikes.
Passengers suffered fresh travel misery on Saturday as members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) walked out in a long-running dispute over pay and conditions.
The strike, on the day of the final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, followed a stoppage by train drivers on Friday which crippled services across England.
Merseyrail is not affected by the industrial action and is expected to run a normal service during the Eurovision finale.
Drivers’ union Aslef is planning further strikes and warned that the dispute is set to continue for months.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch has written to Transport Secretary Mark Harper to call for an industry summit of unions, employers and Government, with an independent chair if necessary, to end “chaos“ on the railways and resolve the “toxic“ rail dispute.
