Mick Whelan, general secretary, commented to the media: "It just shows what can be done when the grown-ups come into the room. The Tory government sat on their hands and refused to talk to us. But this Labour government has worked with us to resolve this dispute." This highlights the significant shift in negotiations leading to a resolution, contrasting the previous government's inaction with the new government's proactive approach.
The offer is a fair offer and it is what we have always asked for, a clean offer, without a land grab for our terms & conditions. We achieved more in the first four weeks of a Labour government than we managed under a Tory government that set out to destroy us." This speaks to the union's perspective on the fairness of the new offer and their expectations moving forward.
