Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) members at Network Rail and 14 train operators will strike for two further days next month in the row over jobs, pay and working conditions, the union has announced.
The move comes after members of RMT at train companies and Network Rail said they will walk out for 24 hours on Wednesday, July 27. Union leaders made the announcement after rejecting a new offer from Network Rail which they described as "paltry".
The offer was for a 4% pay rise backdated to January, another 2% next year and a further 2% conditional on achieving "modernisation milestones". The RMT said it has yet to receive a pay offer or guarantees over job losses from the train operating companies (TOCs).
