Rail union announces strike action

A rail union has announced strike action over ongoing disputes with Southern Rail.

Members of the RMT will strike on Monday, January 8, over the dispute about driver-only trains and the role of conductors.

Mick Cash, RMT General Secretary, said: “Every single effort that RMT has made to reach negotiated settlements in these separate disputes with the different train operating companies over safe operation and safe staffing has been kicked back in our faces and we are left with no option but to confirm a further phase of industrial action in the New Year.
