Train drivers very close to going on strike, union warns
Aslef boss Mick Whelan says a walk-out could happen within weeks if pay talks with management fail. …
Commenting on why Aslef members voted for industrial action, Mr Whelan said: “Quite simply, we haven’t had a pay rise for three years. Train drivers went to work during the pandemic, we moved food and medicine around the country, we got other key workers to work and with the cost of living increase and inflation going through the roof, people feel they deserve a pay rise.”
