The RMT Union will ask 4,000 station staff to walk out on Monday June 6 in a new escalation of hostilities as they demand 10%-plus pay rises for staff and fight a new clampdown on strikes.
Rail union RMT has issued a stern warning that they will mount fierce resistance to any attempt to reduce their right to strike on the railways, after ministers urged union bosses to be reasonable .
It is not only the railways that are set to be massively disrupted by strikes in the coming months. Universities, airports and hospitals could be hit by walkouts too.
Students at 44 of the UK s most prestigious universities could miss out on graduating as their lecturers threatened to boycott marking their exams. The action is on top of 15 days of strikes.
