UK train strikes are set to continue through the late summer after a major union announced a further two days of industrial action amid a dispute with train operating companies over working conditions, job security and pay.
The RMT union said Friday that 20,000 workers across 14 train operating companies will walk out on August 26 and September 2. Both days are a Saturday, making the action likely to have the most impact on people traveling for leisure.
