Another wave of strikes is set to disrupt Britain’s train network over the holiday season, after a union representing rail workers announced more industrial action in late December.
The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers said late Monday that strikes would take place from 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve to around 6 a.m. on Dec. 27, adding to pressure on the government amid growing protests across swathes of the public sector.
