BREAKING: Rail workers vote to ‘bring the country to a standstill’ with summer strike.
Train network staff have voted to press ahead with what could be the biggest rail strike in modern history.
The government has already started to plan for the impact on freight with fears of empty shelves in supermarkets worrying ministers. The union is now expected to demand urgent talks with 16 organisations it is in dispute with, armed with a mandate from thousands of workers to order a mass withdrawal of labour if they don’t produce a compromise.
It’s unclear precisely when the walkout will take place but trade unions must give at least a fortnight notice before striking.
