After talks to prevent the strike broke down on Monday, it became clear that a total of 50,000 rail workers were going on strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rail workers&#039; union RMT believes that wages have not kept up with Britain&#039;s sky-high inflation, which is set to rise even further. The RMT has not accepted the employer&#039;s offer of a 3 percent pay increase when inflation is at 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strike is scheduled for Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday and travelers are urged not to travel at all during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>During the morning, queued<\/strong>&nbsp;People lined the outskirts of London hoping to get a seat on the bus, but many soon gave up when full buses, unable to carry any more passengers, stopped stopping at their stops. The streets were jammed with traffic and taxis, with cyclists trying to squeeze in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chief nurse Priya Govender was one of those trying to get from London Bridge station to her home south of the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201d&quot;I definitely won&#039;t be able to take a bus because they&#039;re packed. I&#039;ll have to take an Uber,&quot; she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201d&quot;My day has been terrible. It&#039;s going to be a long day and I still have a full day&#039;s work to do,&quot; she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Transport Minister Grant&nbsp;<\/strong>Shapps strongly distances himself from the strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201d&quot;The people who are being harmed are people who physically have to show up for work, maybe lower paid, maybe cleaners in hospitals,&quot; Shapps told Sky News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201dI deeply regret what they are doing today and there is no excuse for taking people out on strike.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: TT-DI.SE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pendlare i rusningstrafiken i Storbritannien m\u00f6ttes av kaos n\u00e4r tiotusentals t\u00e5ganst\u00e4llda inledde sin strejk under tisdagen.
