An MP has called on the Prime Minister
to intervene quickly to try to avert
the threatened strike by water workers.
Mr John Ryman, who is the Labour MP for
Blyth, has written to Mrs Thatcher
warning of the serious threat to public
health a water strike would pose.
He claims that a national water strike
is now imminent following the rejection
by 52,000 water workers of the final
pay offer.
Leders of the four unions involved meet
on Wednesday to consider their next
move.
