Aslef leader Mick Whelan condemns rail companies over lack of negotiation
MICK WHELAN has condemned rail companies for their failure to engage in negotiations in the near two-year long train driver pay dispute.
Aslef’s general secretary said he is “getting lonely” from the bosses’ silence as he joined union members on the picket line today.
Members of the train drivers’ union walked out for the third strike in the past four days, affecting services operated by c2c, Gatwick Express, Greater Anglia, Southeastern, Southern, South Western Railway, Great Northern and Thameslink.
