Railway workers are voting on another strike that could disrupt trains in the North East and around the country.
The Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) is asking members who work for Network Rail, CrossCountry, LNER, TransPennine Express, East Midlands Railway, West Midlands Trains, Avanti West Coast, C2C and Great Western Railway to vote on the possibility of taking strike action. The union is demanding a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies for 2022, no changes to terms and conditions without an agreement, and a pay increase which reflects the rising cost of living.
Members will vote on June 29. As unions must give two weeks' notice of any action, mid-July is the earliest time they could strike. That could hit the start of the school summer holiday in England.
