Members of the Aslef and RMT unions are embroiled in long-running disputes over jobs, pay and conditions.
Rail passengers face a week of travel chaos because of strikes and other forms of industrial action in bitter, long-running disputes over pay, jobs and conditions.
Drivers banned overtime on Friday and will refuse to work rest days again next week, from October 2 to 6, which is expected to cause disruption. “Train drivers, perfectly reasonably, want to be able to buy now what they could buy four years ago.” “We are ready and willing to talk to Aslef’s leaders so we can end this damaging dispute but any talks about pay also need to address working practices that date back decades.
A Department for Transport spokesperson said: “The Government spent £31 billion of taxpayers’ money – £1,000 per household – to protect rail workers’ jobs during the pandemic.
