RMT Union Announces UK Wide Strike Action
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union has announced strike action in a dispute over pay.
Network Rail workers voted 4-1 in favour of industrial action, when they rejected a pay offer of a one-off payment of £500 and a three year pay rise in line with inflation.
RMT said that the vote, which had a 60% turnout, expressed "the anger of staff".
A date for the strike action has not yet been set, but unions must give seven days notice before any action can be taken.
