Rail passengers in England were braced for more disruption as train drivers began another series of strikes hitting major events, including this weekend’s Eurovision final. | AFP
“But the blame for this action lies, fairly and squarely, at the feet of the employers who have forced our hand over this by their intransigence.”
The UK has been hit by waves of strikes across many sectors as double-digit inflation causes real-term pay cuts across the board. Aslef said the current pay rise offered by rail operators of four percent was “risible and obviously unacceptable.” The government called on unions to end the months-long dispute, and criticized them for the timing of the strikes.
“We have facilitated an offer which has been put to the leaders of the two trade unions and we’re asking for them to put that offer to their members,” rail minister Huw Merriman told Sky News.“So they either don’t have a particularly good sporting or events calendar, or it has been done deliberately to try and ratchet up the disruption,” he added. /
