It is informed that the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen has rejected the employer's offer of a salary increase, as it considered it insufficient. As a result, employees of fifteen railway companies will go on strikes again.

In the UK, inflation has reached a record level in almost 40 years. Therefore, teachers, doctors, railway workers, border control officers, postmen, bus drivers, driving examiners and representatives of a number of other professions repeatedly hold strikes demanding to raise salaries in accordance with the inflation level.
