Rail workers to vote on further six months of walkouts
Transport correspondent
In recent months, rail workers, dock workers, and BT and Royal Mail employees have been involved in industrial action. Nurses, doctors and teachers are also being balloted on whether to join the picket line and this week unions are expected to vote in favour of co-ordinating any strike action. In a BBC interview on 1 October, RMT general secretary, Mick Lynch, revealed that the decision had already been taken to re-ballot.He told MPs on the Transport Select Committee last week that more money and "a change in attitude and a change of stance" were needed from the government and the rail industry, for a solution to be reached.
Network Rail, which maintains and operates the rail infrastructure, employs roughly half of the more than 40,000 members involved in the dispute.
