Robber baron unions

SIR – Once again the latter-day robber barons in the rail unions are to hold the country to ransom (report, June 9).

We must stand firm against them. I have never met an overworked railway worker but I have certainly met overworked nurses, who earn on average £13,000 less. How will they feel if the Government betrays them? Ian Cribb

SIR – Bring on driverless trains and automatic signalling.
