the United Kingdom preparing to live the greatest Strike of train for more than 30 years after negotiations on better wages and working conditions for rail workers failed, sectoral unions confirmed on Saturday.

Despite the best efforts of our negotiators, no workable agreement has been reached.lamented the general secretary of the RMT railway union Mick Lynch after discussions that lasted several weeks.

Therefore, a historic rail strike will take place on Tuesday 21, Thursday 23 and Saturday 25 June, he confirmed. 5,000 employees must participate.

London Underground also affected

The biggest day is scheduled for Tuesday and will hit train lines across the country and the London Underground. The movement resumes on Thursday and Saturday, but the transport will be interrupted from Monday to Sunday.

The Network Rail company, which manages the country’s railway infrastructure, advanced a figure of only 20% of the service provided, with half of the network open, for the three days of unemployment.

According to Mick Lynch, the origin of the conflict lies on the Conservative government’s decision to cut £4bn (about €4.6bn) in subsidies from UK transport systems.

job cuts

RMT states in particular that rail network manager Network Rail intends to cut at least 2,500 maintenance jobs as part of a £2bn (€2.33bn) savings plan.

No one wins during a strike.denounced a spokesman for the Rail Delivery group, indicating that keep as many services as possible.

But interruptions will be unavoidable and some parts of the network will not work.he added, inviting users to consider other means of travel.

This stoppage risks disrupting several large-scale sporting and cultural events, including the Glastonbury music festival, a Rolling Stones concert in London’s Hyde Park on Saturday and final exams for some high school students.
