"TALKS have been agreed over a possible merger between the RMT and TSSA, it has been revealed. The general secretary of the RMT, Bob Crow, said it was an historic day.

The talks may result in a full merger, although at first the discussions will focus on closer working, initially through a federation structure, with a view to moving towards a complete merger later on.

Both unions also agreed that the door will remain open for other smaller transport unions to join the discussions in due course.

The general secretary of TSSA, Gerry Doherty, said: "Today's decision will hopefully be the start of a process designed to serve the interests of future generations of transport and travel trade workers. We owe an obligation to our children and our children's children to leave better organisations that protect workers in the very uncertain future that they currently face.'

The RMT presently has 80,000 members. A spokesman for the union told Railnews: "With a full merger, the result would be a powerful union, with more than 100,000 members.""
