Britain’s train drivers’ union said it will strike on Saturday July 30 over a pay dispute, creating more transport chaos a day after other rail workers said they would also walk out later this month.
The Aslef labor group said drivers will stage the day-long stoppage after failing to reach a deal with employers. Members of two other unions will stage a 24 hour strike on July 27 after failing to reach a pay deal.
The threat of further disruption comes after rail travel across the country was halted in June by a three-day rail strike led by the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, the biggest in more than three decades.
