BREAKING: RMT announces three more days of walkouts at 14 train companies
Rail workers at 14 train companies are to strike next month in the ongoing dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions. The RMT rail union announced further industrial action on the railways in November.
Workers will stage the walkout on November 3 and 5, coinciding with separate walkouts at Network Rail on November 3, 5 and 7 - and London Underground and Overground on November 3.
General Secretary Mick Lynch said: "Some of our members on the train operating companies are some of the lowest paid on the railways. This stands in stark contrast to rail operating company bosses making millions of pounds in profit.
