UK rail workers announce July 27 strike in pay row - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The 24-hour walkout by members of the RMT and TSSA will take place on July 27, the unions said on Wednesday, leaving travellers facing further disruption during the school holidays after tens of thousands of striking workers brought Britain’s rail network close to a standstill last month.

Inflation in Britain is due expected to rise above 10% later this year but the government has urged businesses to exercise restraint in pay settlements to avoid fuelling what it says would be an inflationary spiral. “Strike action is the only course open to us to make both the rail industry and government understand that this dispute will continue for as long as it takes.”

The TSSA said its members in station roles at Avanti West Coast – the west coast mainline operator of routes, including London to Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow – would strike on the same day to coincide with the RMT action.
