Mick Lynch, 63, to Retire as RMT General Secretary; Successor to Be Elected in May
Jan 9, 2025, 01:27 PM
Mick Lynch has announced his retirement as the General Secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT). At the age of 63, Lynch steps down after leading the union through significant industrial struggles and becoming a prominent advocate for the labor movement in the UK. Described as "a thorn in the side of successive governments" and "the most effective trade unionist of his generation," he has been praised for his tireless advocacy for working people and his role in securing victories for RMT members. Notably, he mobilized members to defend mosques during racist riots last year. His retirement is seen as a significant loss to the union movement. A new General Secretary will be elected at the end of May.
