UK train workers go back on strike as talks once more stagnate.

UK rail workers have gone on strike, alleging that the government is preventing rail operators from making a reasonable offer about job security, pay, and working conditions.

As soaring inflation and 10 years of sluggish wage growth pound employees and their families, many find themselves unable to make ends meet.

Later this month, more industries will join the strike as workers call for a living wage to help them deal with the rising cost of living.

Job security and the threat of cuts to some maintenance teams were among the other issues raised by the workers over the course of the months that this dispute has dragged on. These developments could negatively affect the safety of the networks, the passengers they carry, and the people who work on them.

Aslef drivers will go on strike on Thursday, while members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at Network Rail and 14 train operators will be on strike for two 48-hour periods on Tuesday and Thursday.

Because there are few trains operating, passengers are cautioned that their trips may experience "severe disruptions."

There is no end in sight to what has been nicknamed a fresh "winter of discontent" in reference to the industrial disputes that engulfed Britain in the late 1970s because the government has stated that it cannot afford to offer public sector workers an increase that keeps pace with inflation.

Additionally joining the protest, nurses, airport employees, and postal workers are calling for salary that keeps up with the inflation that has been hovering around 40-year highs and reached 10.7 percent in November.

In Scotland, teachers are scheduled to walk out the next week.

The nurses' strike is supported by two-thirds of Britons, according to a YouGov poll released in December.
