A further five-day strike is due to begin a week on Monday.

For generations, fish and chips has fed millions of memories: eaten with greasy fingers on a seaside holiday, a pay-day treat at the end of the working week or a late-night supper on the way home from the pub.
That's probably how we've ended up with a National Fish and Chip Day, which, it seems, is today.
And did you know that Yorkshire has more chippies than anywhere else in the country?
That's according to the Leeds-based National Federation of Fish Friers, which says there are about 1,700 of them in our region - and apparently about one in five of us visit our nearest chip shop every week.
Another day, another celebration: Huddersfield Town fans can finally get their hands on the team's hard-earned Championship play-off final trophy today.
Huddersfield beat Reading 4-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw at Wembley Stadium in Monday's final which saw them win a place in the Premier League.
It's the first time the Terriers have been in the top division since 1972 and thousands of fans attended the team's victory parade earlier this week to celebrate promotion.
Supporters can have their picture taken with the club's new silverware at the Canalside training complex from 11:00 this morning.

Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas has accused the Labour Party of stealing her policies during a general election campaign visit to Sheffield.
Speaking in the city last night, she said measures such as rail nationalisation and scrapping tuition fees were originally Green Party policies.
The party's targeting the Sheffield Central constituency, where its candidate is former leader Natalie Bennett.
This is what she told BBC Radio Sheffield's Charlotte Rose:

Cloud and rain will spread southeast through Yorkshire this morning.
The rain will turn more patchy during the afternoon with some sunny spells.
Watch my full forecast here:
Armed raids in Huddersfield and Sheffield on Thursday which saw the arrest of two men on suspected terror offences aren't connected to the Manchester suicide bomb attack, police say.
Image source, PAA 29-year-old man was arrested by counter-terror officers at a flat near Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield, and a 24-year-old man was arrested at a property in Crosland Moor in Huddersfield.
Both raids, which the BBC understands are Islamist-related, were carried out by officers from the North East Counter Terror Unit and were "based on recently received intelligence", police say.
In a statement, the unit says, external: "There are no connections to the recent incident and investigation in Manchester.
"We understand that people may have concerns as a result of this activity and we are grateful for the patience and understanding of the public while these enquiries are carried out."
It seems the humble cactus is enjoying a resurgence.
It's apparently now the ornament of choice for Yorkshire's trendy "hipsters".
But what's the appeal of the prickly plant? Take a look at these sharp characters:
More now on a story we first brought you yesterday about scientists at Sheffield University who've been awarded £200,000 for research into the link between breast and bone cancer.
They say the money will be used to see if a drug can be developed which will stop cancer moving to different parts of the body.
Work at the university has found that breast cancers can change the structure of bone to make it easier to spread there:
Local residents in Huddersfield and Sheffield say they heard "loud bangs" when armed officers swooped on two addresses in terror raids on Thursday.

Armed officers swooped on a flat near Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield, arresting a 29 year-old man.
They then smashed down the door of a property in Rudding Street at Crosland Moor in Huddersfield, taking a 24 year-old into custody.
Nick Meeks, who lives on the same floor as the flat in Sheffield which was raided, said he heard an "almighty explosion":
The Prime Minister Theresa May and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will face an audience in York tonight, just six days before voters go to the polls in the general election.
They're taking part in the BBC's Question Time Leaders Special, held in the city - although they'll only take audience questions, rather than going head-to-head.
Victoria Honeyman, from the School of Politics at the University of Leeds, says it'll be all about how the two leaders both "sell themselves":
Cloud and rain will spread through Yorkshire this morning.

It'll be dry overnight with clear spells, although it may turn misty around the coast:

Hello and welcome to BBC Local Live in Yorkshire on Thursday 1 June 2017.
We'll be with you throughout the day with all the latest news, sport, weather and travel updates.
We're starting with an unusual sight I saw yesterday.
This pike was taking it easy, basking and perusing potential prey in York's River Foss. The river was teeming with all kinds of quick snacks for it.
The sun seems to bring them to the surface - maybe it's to do with the water's oxygen content being changed by the intense heat?
