[Travellers have been told to brace for
more Christmas chaos after road workers
announced 12 days of strikes to coincide
with rail walkouts.

National Highways employees,
who operate and maintain roads in England,
will take part in a series of staggered strikes
from 16 December to 7 January, the PCS union said.

"We know our members' action could
inconvenience travellers who plan to visit
their relatives over the festive period,
but our members have been placed
in this situation by a government
that won't listen to its own workforce,"
said the
PCS union's general secretary Mark Serwotka.

"With the serious cost of living crisis, they
deserve to be paid properly for the
important work they do,
keeping our roads running safe and free."]
