Solidarity with RMT on strike action mandate

Railway workers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action across Network Rail and the train operating companies, in the biggest endorsement for industrial action by railway workers since privatisation.

71% of those balloted took part in the vote with 89% voting in favour of strike action.

The union is now demanding urgent talks with Network Rail and train operating companies that were balloted to find a negotiated settlement to the dispute over pay, jobs and safety.

Solidarity.
