Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union employed by facilities company Interserve will walk out from 5.30am tomorrow after voting by 4-1 in favour of action.

The union will not sit back while core issues on pay and working conditions are left unresolved. The ballot result delivered a huge democratic mandate that shows the anger amongst our members and it is about time that Interserve woke up and took note. Our members will be sending that message loud and clear over the next two days in a dispute which has ramifications for the entire outsourcing industry in the UK and its virulent anti-union stance.
