Workers at a rail manufacturing company in Scunthorpe are to strike
They will be walking out in a row over pay
Workers at a rail manufacturing company are to stage a series of strikes in a dispute over pay.
Members of the GMB union at Scunthorpe-based Vossloh will walk out for 16 days over the next few weeks.
Strikes will be held on October 20 and 27, with further dates from October 31.
The move follows an overwhelming vote against a pay offer which the union said amounts to a real-terms pay cut.
GMB organiser Colin Todd said: "It's disappointing that it has come to this.
"Disruption to repairs across the UK's rail network could be on the cards if Vossloh management don't get serious about settling this dispute.
"Vossloh must now do the right thing and get back around the table with an offer that reflects the value our members bring to the company."
