The workers of British trains will be called to others this week two strike days of 48 hourstoday and tomorrow and Friday and Saturday, to claim salary improvements.
The strike of the British Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) will affect people returning to work after the Christmas break.
The rail sector, already on strike from December 24 to 27, is demanding a 7% wage increase, but Network Rail has offered a 5% increase, below inflation, which is over 10%.
RMT union general secretary Mick Lynch has confirmed to the BBC that he regrets the strike “is being extended in this way” but that the government is “doing nothing” to end the dispute. British Transport Secretary Mark Harper, for his part, regrets that the RMT rejected his offer of a salary increase. “I would rather they get off the pickets and return to the negotiating table to reach an agreement with employers on reforms and wages,” he added.
