LONDON (Reuters) – The largest railway strike in Britain’s history has been called off due to a shortage of oil.
Due to the current situation, more than 15,000 km of tracks are now empty of trains, the biggest railway strike in the 30-year history of Britain has stopped the wheel of the country and people are trapped in their homes.
Troubled by pay cuts and job insecurity, more than 50,000 workers will now go on strike this Thursday and Saturday.
Mick Lynch, head of the British Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) workers’ union, said he had no choice but to strike in the face of pensions, wages and layoffs.
On the other hand, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said that railway workers’ unions are harming the people and businesses, livelihoods and ordinary people across the country are being severely affected.
It should be noted that the rise in inflation to 10% in the UK has led to food and fuel shortages, while wages have risen to the level of 2006, which has led to a shortage of manpower in British government jobs. ۔
