Hide AdMick Cash, RMT general secretary, said the industrial action was the result of Northern bosses failing to guarantee the future role of guards on trains.
A spokesman for Northern said: "As our modernisation proposals are still in the early stages, it is a shame the RMT has announced strike action. "Our aim is to reach a constructive resolution and we urge the RMT to continue the talks we have already started."
