Sure to bring more disruption to Lincolnshire travel
Ongoing pay disputes in the rail sector have prompted yet more strikes to be planned across the UK – this time from train drivers at the beginning of October.
The strikes are the latest in a long line of action by trade unions within the rail sector, as ongoing pay negotiations for workers continue to cause disruption.ASLEF argues that train companies have offered workers the equivalent of a real terms pay cut in line with inflation, and want a better wage package for the staff members it represents.
“They are telling train drivers to take a real terms pay cut. With inflation now running at 12.3% – and set, it is said, to go higher – these companies are saying that drivers should be prepared to work just as hard, for just as long, but for considerably less.” “They range from those left out of pocket because they can’t get to work, to people missing vital appointments and to thousands of London marathon participants, who, after months of training, will have their journeys to London disrupted at the weekend.
“We want to see the industry and its people thrive – we are asking the unions’ leadership to do the right thing, call off these damaging strikes and work with us to make that happen.”
