I suppose it's expecting too much for those oh so nice chaps at the RMT to let us know in the next few days when they plan to strike in august?

The next necessary strike dates are Thursday 20 July, Saturday 22 July and Saturday 29 July.

Nothing yet planned for August......hopefully the RDG,who seem determined to destroy the railway and customer service,will get their act together and prevent it from being needed.

What deal have rail workers been offered?​

The Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents the 14 train companies, made an offer that would have seen rail workers receive a backdated pay rise of 5% for 2022. It would then negotiate reforms ahead of a second year's pay rise with individual operators.


On 5 May, RMT members voted to extend the strike mandate for another six months.

The Aslef union, meanwhile, has rejected a two-year offer which would see drivers get a backdated pay rise of 4% for 2022 and a 4% increase this year.

Separately, a revised offer from Network Rail was accepted by RMT members on 20 March, ending that dispute.
The union said the offer amounted to an uplift on salaries of between 14.4% for the lowest paid grades to 9.2% for the highest paid.

How much notice do unions have to give?​

Unions are obliged to give at least 14 days' notice of any strike action.
 
Typical - the day I have tickets for the Old Trafford test match! So the Thursday and Saturday no trains and the day between willno doubt be affected too? Let’s hope there are no metro link issues during the test …
