Train drivers voted to stage a 24-hour strike Dec. 28 to protest the Southern Railway’s refusal to pay holiday wages for drivers working the Monday after Christmas. The strike will affect Southern’s routes, which run from London to England’s south coast and throughout southeastern England. The walkout will likely cause extensive disruption in service. Thinking far ahead, the union said drivers would also strike on Dec. 27, 2010 and Jan. 3, 2011 if the dispute is not resolved. Southern currently pays holiday wages for two days during the Christmas week, but the union wants three.
