THOUSANDS of train workers are set to walk out over pay freezes and job losses causing disruption.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union at Network Rail and 13 train operators, including c2c and Greater Anglia, will walk out on June 21, 23 and 25.

The furious union members say they are walking over pay freezes and job losses.

Bosses of Greater Anglia and c2c have pledged to prepare contingency plans to reduce impact on customers.

Campaigners say it will cause huge disruption over the three days.

The RMT also announced another 24-hour strike on London Underground in a separate row over jobs and pensions.

Tube workers will strike on June 21 to coincide with the first rail strike, threatening widespread travel chaos.

The union said it will be the biggest strike on the railways since 1989.

Union members voted overwhelmingly for action last month in growing rows over pay and job losses.

The RMT said rail staff who worked through the pandemic were facing pay freezes and hundreds of job cuts.

Andrew Haines, Network Rail’s chief executive, said: “We continue to meet with our trades unions to discuss their pay concerns and we’re doing everything we can to avoid strike action on the railway.

“We know that the cost of living has increased and we want to give our people a pay rise, but the RMT must recognise we are a public body and any pay increase has to be affordable for taxpayers.”
