From teachers to train staff, thousands of workers are planning to walkout in July in a series of strikes expected to bring mass disruption to households.

Here’s the latest planned industrial action and details of how it might affect you:

Teachers

Teachers in England are to strike for two more days before the end of the school year, the NEU has announced.

The National Education Union has confirmed national strikes for Wednesday, July 5 and Friday, July 7, which is expected to trigger the full or partial closure of many schools.

Since February there have already been five national strikes and three regional events, organised by the NEU which is the UK’s largest education union.

The government, which has called previous strikes disappointing, says the walk outs will cause further disruption to learning while the union says it is waiting for an increased pay offer from ministers.

Dr Mary Bousted and Kevin Courtney, Joint General Secretaries of the NEU, said: "It is within Gillian Keegan's grasp for this action to be halted. Time and again the National Education Union, alongside its sister unions, have called for the Education Secretary to get around the negotiation table to settle this dispute for a fully-funded teacher pay increase. Time and again our calls have fallen on stony ground.”

Junior doctors

Junior doctors are staging a five-day walkout in what is being described as a ‘dramatic escalation’ in their dispute with the government.

The British Medical Association says staff will walk out between Thursday, July 13 and Tuesday, July 18 in what is believed to be the longest ever single spell of industrial action in the history of the health service.

There are claims by the BMA that junior doctors are being inundated with offers to work abroad – with some countries even rumoured to be sending posters and details about job offers to picket lines.

Co-chairs of the BMA junior doctors committee Dr Robert Laurenson and Dr Vivek Trivedi said: “The NHS is one of this country’s proudest achievements and it is shameful that we have a Government seemingly content to let it decline to the point of collapse with decades of real-terms pay cuts to doctors driving them away.”

Railway workers

More than 20,000 railway workers are walking out in July in the ongoing national rail dispute.

Union RMT, which has announced the latest round of industrial action, says train operators have ‘failed to make a new pay offer’ and talks have now stalled.

Members working across 14 train operating companies will take strike action on Thursday, July 20, Saturday, July 22 and Saturday, July 29.

The strikes are set to begin as the majority of schools in England break for the long summer break.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "This latest phase of action will show the country just how important railway staff are to the running of the rail industry.

"My team of negotiators and I are available 24/7 for talks with the train operating companies and government ministers.

"Yet quite incredibly neither party has made any attempt whatsoever to arrange any meetings or put forward a decent offer that can help us reach a negotiated solution.”

The RMT says it will continue its industrial campaign until a ‘negotiated settlement on pay, working conditions and job security’ is reached.

Airport workers

Workers at Heathrow airport – represented by the union Unite – have announced plans to walk out for 31 days this summer including a number of weekends in July.

Travel disruption is being forecast because of the involvement of hundreds of security officers with airlines including BA, Delta, Virgin and Emirates all likely to be affected by events in Terminal 3 and Terminal 5.

The current July strike dates are listed for July 14 to 16, July 21 to 24 and July 28 to the 31.
