Disallow RMT Strikes to be conducted on 2+ consecutive days mid-week.

What the petition asks

Every month, I spend £505.40 on a Monthly Rail ticket Basingstoke to Waterloo for work. On numerous occasions SWR is delayed, late or cancelled. On numerous occasions there is RMT Strike Action over consecutive days. As a result, I and several others lose time and money.

The Delay Repay Scheme SWR operate is not a simple process considering the frequency in late trains. Furthermore, repayment is minimal, approximately £3 for a one-way journey if the train is 15 minutes late, or more. As such, whomever is paid by the hour on a client basis, this repayment is not nearly enough compensation to run a business effectively. In addition, despite several complaints internally, SWR shrug their shoulders. Unfortunately neither RMT nor SWR treat customers fairly.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

It is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament to set strike dates. This is the responsibility of the union taking strike action.

You could start a new petition calling for a change in the law to limit the right to strike for workers on public transport if that is something you would like to see happen.
