The 63-year-old served in the RMT in many capacities over 30 years, most recently being elected General Secretary in 2021.
Lynch said that it has been a "privilege" to be a part of the RMT, but "now it time for change".
“This union has been through a lot of struggles in recent years, and I believe that it has only made it stronger despite all the odds," he said.
