A third union has warned it could join the "summer of discontent" if demands about pay and conditions are not met. The majority of the strike action will take place over a nine-day period at the end of June. "The way that you create good public services is not to attack the people who run those services, is not to attack those people who work day in, day out in order to try and keep them going - the way you do it is to support them." The majority of the strike action is scheduled to take place over a nine-day period at the end of June. Speaking in Blackpool today the prime minister said the "time has come" to close inefficient train ticket offices across the UK and replace them with automated systems as part of cutting the costs of transport. Taking place over three days, the strike action threatens to "shut down the system".

The attacks are so vicious that “hundreds” of workers have left the FCA since bosses announced the measures. Who are the people who fail it?

TSSA union ballots could lead to complete national shutdown by time of Commonwealth Games in July.

No trains are expected to run north of Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland, nor beyond the Cardiff region in Wales, on strike days. We’re also on the rail workers’ side. The railway is expecting to run about 20% of normal services between 7am and 7pm, preserving some trains on mainlines and urban services. The shadow levelling up secretary, Lisa Nandy, gave qualified backing to rail workers on Thursday, but said Labour wanted to avoid strikes.

More railway workers are to be balloted for strikes in growing disputes over pay and jobs, increasing the threat of a summer of travel chaos, it was announced on Friday. Labour insisted on Wednesday: “We’ve been clear in the position that the strikes shouldn’t go ahead”. A spokesperson added: “Nobody wants to see industrial action that is disruptive.”

Almost 300 Lower Mainland concrete workers have been off the job for several weeks due to a strike, evoking worries from some in the construction business.

The cost [of construction] is going to go up," Gardner said. The 134 workers for Ocean and Allied, Capozzi said, are respecting the picket lines. He wouldn't say what the workers' present wages are or what they are seeking from the company.

They include concrete plant operators, concrete mixer truck drivers and others in their ranks. "We're dead in the water.
