The strikes will coincide with the Conservative Party conference - and overtime bans are planned as well
The union has said train companies have always failed to employ enough drivers to provide a proper service., a membership organisation for the rail industry, said: “Our offer to Aslef would take average driver salaries to £65,000 for a four-day week – that’s more than double the average UK salary and many drivers top up their income further by working overtime.
“The industry depends on a monthly injection of up to £175m from the taxpayer because revenues are still 30 per cent below pre-pandemic levels – while simultaneously facing unprecedented changes in customer travel patterns. “It means giving our customers more reliable train services when they actually want to use them – particularly on Sundays. That is how any industry survives and thrives.”spokesperson said: “The Government spent £31bn of taxpayers’ money – £1,000 per household – to protect rail workers’ jobs during the pandemic.
