Both professions are in dispute with the government, and while junior doctors are threatening to strike barristers are already being balloted from today on action.
Shadow Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting has revealed he is behind the 50,000 RMT members who plan to shut down Britain s railways and Tube network at the end of June.
Commuters could be told to work from home during the train strikes as the biggest rail strikes for more than 30 years are planned for three days in June.
Around 40,000 rail workers were balloted last month by the RMT, with 89 percent voting to strike off a participation rate of 71 percent. On the London Underground, 94 percent of RMT members voted to strike.
