RMT Press Office:
Revenue protection inspectors on Arriva Rail London have voted to take strike action over a collective grievance issue.
RMT members returned an 82.3% yes vote on a 77.2% turnout.
Workers have become frustrated that a collective grievance into bullying has not been adequately dealt with and the employer is refusing to follow the right procedures in the collective bargaining agreement with the union.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "This is a fantastic result, and our members feel strongly that justice has not been done in their workplace.
"It is clear that Arriva Rail London management has failed to follow the right workplace procedures and they should now heed the strong feelings of their staff.
"However, if they fail to listen, then it is inevitable that revenue protection staff will take strike action on Arriva Rail London until there is a satisfactory resolution."
Strike action will affect stations at Chingford, Enfield Town, Gospel Oak, Surrey Quays and Willesden Junction.
