LONDON (Reuters) – British railway trade union RMT said on Thursday tens of thousands of its members would take nationwide strike action across the railways on March 16 in a long-running dispute over pay.
“Rail employers are not being given a fresh mandate by the government to offer our members a new deal on pay, conditions and job security,” RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said.
“Therefore, our members will now take sustained and targeted industrial action over the next few months.”
