LNER and Northern train drivers to strike over 'persistent' failure to honour agreements, Aslef says
TRAIN drivers at LNER and Northern will strike today over the train companies’ persistent failure to comply with existing agreements, Aslef has said.
In a separate dispute over the national long-running pay dispute between the union and 16 train operating companies, members at the two companies refused to work non-contractual overtime from today to Saturday.
An Aslef spokesman said LNER has for nearly two years “constantly badgered [members] for favours and non-compliance with rostering arrangements,” while paying managers £500 a shift to drive trains on strike days.
