Union leader warns that further walkouts are ‘inevitable’ unless the deadlocked dispute is resolved soon.
Further strikes by railway workers in the bitter dispute over pay, jobs and conditions are “inevitable” unless the deadlocked row is resolved soon, a union leader has warned on the eve of another walkout.
Mick Whelan, general secretary of Aslef, told the PA News Agency that his members were increasingly angry at the lack of progress in the dispute. Another strike by Aslef will be held on Wednesday, while RMT members will walk out again on October 8, and again on October 10 in Scotland. Delegates travelling to the Conservative Party conference this weekend will be among those affected by the disruption.
Andrew Haines, Network Rail chief executive, said: “Despite our best efforts to compromise and find a breakthrough in talks, rail unions remain intent on continuing and coordinating their strike action. “It is particularly disheartening that this weekend’s strike will hit the plans of thousands of runners who have trained for months to take part in the iconic London Marathon.
