RMT general secretary Mick Cash

MICK CASH has warned that transport workers will be engaging in a new wave of “militant” strike action across the country, after winning re-election as RMT general secretary.

Mr Cash will serve another five years in the role after receiving the support of thousands of the union’s members.

He became general secretary in 2014 following the unexpected death of his close political ally Bob Crow.
