Railway workers will strike for one day on Wednesday 27 July as part of ongoing dispute over pay, jobs and conditions.
Railway workers are to stage a one-day strike on 27 July as part of an ongoing dispute over pay, jobs and conditions, the RMT union says.
"Strike action is the only course open to us to make both the rail industry and government understand that this dispute will continue for as long as it takes, until we get a negotiated settlement." Mr Dempsey said that national strikes are coming against low wages. "People across the economy - nurses, postal workers, rail workers - are all about to stand together and say we deserve a pay rise in this country - that is coming."
Last month Britain's rail network was brought close to a standstill as tens of thousands of rail workers walked out in what unions said was the biggest rail strike in 30 years.
