LONDON: Britain's biggest rail strike in 30 years kicked off on Tuesday (Jun 21) as tens of thousands of staff members walked out in a dispute over pay and jobs that could pave the way for widespread industrial action across the economy in the coming months.

Picket lines appeared at dawn and will be lined by some of the more than 40,000 rail workers who are due to strike on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, bringing the network to a standstill. The London Underground was also shut due to the strike.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson, under pressure to do more to help British households who face the toughest economic hit in decades, said that the industrial action would harm businesses as they continue to recover from the pandemic.

Unions have said that the rail strikes could mark the start of a "summer of discontent" with teachers, medics, waste disposal workers and even barristers moving towards industrial action as surging food and fuel prices push inflation towards 10 per cent.
