SWT strike still planned for Friday
Rail workers in the south say they are still planning to take industrial action during the Olympics in a row over a Games bonus payment.
Up to 1,000 members of the Rail Maritime and Transport union at South West Trains will work to rule, including a ban on overtime, from Friday, the day of the opening ceremony, to August 12, the last day of the Games.
Union members at the firm rejected going on strike but voted for other forms of action.
The union has been seeking a bonus for its members for working during the Games, but SWT insisted it had already agreed a wage deal which covers the Olympics period.
