Britain is bracing for further industrial action this month as junior doctors belonging to the British Medical Association (BMA) stage a five-day walkout and the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) introduces more strike dates, threatening to bring yet more disruption to rail services.
Senior doctors are also downing stethoscopes for a 48-hour period in July and Aslef, the train drivers’ union, has taken “action short of a strike” by calling a six-day overtime ban, which is nevertheless likely to result in the cancellation of trains relied upon by beleaguered commuters.
