The RMT Union has released an update on the upcoming strike action in November in its dispute over jobs, conditions and pay.
Members will be taking strike action on the 5th, 7th and 9th November, with seperate disputes on London Underground and Overground meaning strike action on the 10th November.
RMT has decided to re-arrange the strike action on the 3rd November to the 9th November due to the Royal British Legion Poppy Day taking place on the 3rd.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “Our focus in this dispute is the rail employers who have yet to make an offer that will create the conditions for a negotiated settlement.
“I call upon the new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to unshackle the rail industry so they can come to a settlement with RMT.
“We will vigorously pursue our industrial campaign until we achieve a deal.”
