Workers, vacationers and sports fans are facing another day of travel disruption in Britain as thousands of train drivers walked off the job Saturday.
Southeastern trains in sidings near Ashford railway station as members of the drivers union Aslef at seven train operators walk out for 24 hours over pay, in Kent, England, Saturday, July 30, 2022. Workers, vacationers and sports fans faced travel disruption in Britain as thousands of train drivers walked off the job Saturday, the latest strike in an increasingly bitter labor dispute on the nation’s railways.
The drivers’ walkout followed four daylong strikes since June by railway cleaners, signalers, maintenance workers and station staff in a dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions. Unions accuse the Conservative government of preventing train companies — which are privately owned but heavily regulated — from making a better offer, something the government denies.
Mick Whelan, leader of the train drivers’ ASLEF union, said workers just wanted a “realistic” pay raise.
