National Rail Strike
23 November
The country has been 1 by the latest rail strike, with no rail services at all running today. The railway service has been 2
for some time, but if today’s action is prolonged it may prove 3
to the rail industry. The Minister for Transport commented: ‘The country
has been suffering from a 4 of local strikes since the first
one in Nortown last month. It was 5 and one strike led to
another. Things reached 6 pitch last week and we can only
hope that this 7 will come to an end soon.’ The minister’s 8 is that things will only start to improve once people appreciate the seriousness of the situation.
