Low Rail freight

RMT has called a 48‑hour strike at Heavy Haul Rail from 25 to 26 June across Great Britain after the company refused to rule out compulsory redundancies amid a restructuring plan. The stoppage targets control, rostering, TOPS, planning and administration grades at the bulk freight operator, which supports Network Rail works; passenger services are not directly targeted. The union says the action follows a recent ballot and seeks firm guarantees on job security.
