Network Rail Maintenance Workers Strike (14-15/06/2008)
« on: June 06, 2008, 07:24:55 PM »

Rail maintenance workers will strike on the weekend of 14-15 June over jobs and conditions, the RMT has said (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7440412.stm

The union said more than 12,000 Network Rail staff in England, Scotland and Wales would walk out for 30 hours from midday on the Saturday.

The RMT accused Network Rail of using talks to drive down conditions and of threatening job cuts.

Network Rail said the RMT's demands were "ridiculous" and there could be delays over the weekend.

The company said it should be able to maintain normal services unless there were track or signal failures requiring immediate attention - which could result in speed restrictions.
