The walkout will begin at 12.01 am on March 5 and end at 11.59 pm on March 6, with union members stating that essential safety functions, such as vessel navigation and emergency response, will be maintained to ensure safety during the strike. The RMT said workers will continue to carry out duties necessary to ensure vessel safety, including maintaining moorings and gangways.

Really what it came to was C.C., [bassist] Bobby [Dall] and I were all in, and I thought Bret was, but he wanted the lion's share of the money, to the point where it makes it not possible to even do it. It's like $6 to every one of our dollars. You just can't work that way.

Rubbish could pile up in an area of east London over Christmas in a dispute at what bin collectors say is poor pay. GMB Union members voted by 97 per cent to take the industrial action against their employer FCC Environment, which provides the services on behalf of Waltham Forest Council. The strikes have been looming since the summer when outsourced workers rejected a 2.8 per cent increase, then a follow-up offer of 3.2 per cent.

This is disgraceful behaviour from a company making millions from London bus passengers. It shows an utter disregard for its workers and the hard work they do day in, day out.

With many Tate directors receiving six-figure pay packages and five-figure bonuses while staff are condemned to in-work poverty, it is no wonder we have seen such an overwhelming vote for strike action. Our members have rightly rejected another insulting pay offer from senior Tate management, and now stand ready to take strike action that will severely impact gallery operations.

Residents of a London borough face the threat of a bin strike after refuse workers in a pay dispute backed industrial action. The GMB union said it will now formally ballot members who work in Richmond, in the south west of the capital, on industrial action if contractor Serco does not bring forward a revised pay offer by Friday (October 24). GMB said Serco had not presented anything concrete to bin staff working in the borough, despite pay talks stretching back to April.

Thousands of Tube staff are to carry out the network's biggest strike for three years, with the worst of the disruption expected Monday to Thursday.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has described the proposed 3.6% pay increase for nurses as 'grotesque', expressing deep discontent over disparities in pay increases among public sector workers.
