PRIVATEER railway operators that try to use the government’s minimum services level (MSL) legislation to break train drivers’ strikes will suffer a “tariff” of more action, unions have warned. 

Train drivers’ union Aslef received unanimous support when it called for backing, including “industrial resistance,” for any union which defied the new laws, at the annual meeting of the TUC’s Yorkshire & Humber region in Leeds on Saturday.

Resistance would include solidarity on the picket lines, demonstrations and support for legal challenges.
