The State Railway Union announced Monday that the unionists will lay down tools around the country to oppose the Cabinet's resolution to reform the State Railway Authority.

Sawit Kaewwarn, chairman of the union, said the protests would cause the trains services to be cancelled around the country.

The unionists will return to work only when the government heeds the demands of the union, Sawit said.
