Tens of thousands of RMT workers and nurses will walk out on fresh strikes in March while Royal Mail workers vote for more industrial action.

The RMT union, representing tens of thousands of rail workers, will walk out on fresh strike dates after having reached no new deal with employers in the national rail dispute. New walkout dates have also been announced by nurses, while Royal Mail postal workers have voted in favour of additional strikes.

RMT announced to its members on Thursday (February 15) their next move in the ongoing dispute, introducing more walkout dates as well as a ban on overtime. The union, representing 40,000 workers across Network Rail and 14 train operators, said it had rejected offers from employers last week as they did not meet the RMT’s demands on pay, job security and working conditions.
