Workers at three rail companies are to take industrial action in the coming weeks in separate disputes over issues including pay and pensions.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union at Hull Trains, East Midlands Trains and ScotRail will strike on Sundays in August as well as taking other forms of action.
Union members at Hull Trains will ban rest day working and overtime from Monday and stage 24-hour walkouts on August 8, 15, 22 and 29.
The union said talks at the conciliation service over a dispute about pensions had broken down without progress.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “RMT remains fully committed to defending our members’ rights to a decent pension in retirement and will do everything in its power to protect our members’ final salary pension rights.”
