Rail strikes to resume after train drivers’ union serves notice of walkouts – By Sky News Staff (Sky News) / Sept 16, 2022
A planned stoppage by Aslef on 15 September was called off as a mark of respect following the Queen’s death, but now drivers at 12 train firms will go ahead with industrial action in October, disrupting travel to and from the Tory conference.
Train drivers will resume strike action next month in a long-running dispute over pay.
A planned walkout by the Aslef union on 15 September was called off as a mark of respect following the death of the Queen.
But now, drivers at 12 train firms will go ahead with industrial action on 1 October and 5 October, disrupting travel to and from the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham.
Aslef will not comment publicly on the industrial action until after the late monarch’s state funeral on Monday.
It is understood the drivers’ union notified the train operators already because of the legal requirement to give 14 days notice of planned stoppages.
