UNION boss Mick Lynch is facing a mounting rebellion from his members left severely out of pocket by relentless strike action.
Fed-up rail workers are growing increasingly angry with the RMT chief, who has refused to put the Government’s latest offer to a vote.
One said he may quit the union after decades, having lost almost £3,500 in the year-long industrial battle.
He told The Sun on Sunday: “I’ve done 17 strike days and lost £200 each day.
“The RMT should have put the Government’s deal to the members, but they’re too up their own a***s to consider the financial impact on us.”

The rail worker, who wants to remain anonymous, says many of his pals have left to join another union.
A second told us he left the RMT because of its refusal to do a deal and the “hardship” that brought.
An average rail worker on £31,000 would have lost up to £1,800 during the strikes.
It is much less than Aslef train drivers on strike today who earn around £60,000 — and whose boss Mick Whelan warned action could continue for five years.
In April, the Rail Delivery Group offered RMT workers a nine per cent pay rise over two years as well as a jobs security package.
While RMT staff at Network Rail accepted the offer, members working for the operating companies have not been given a vote.
A union source said: “RMT members recently voted by nine to one in favour of more strike action.”
