Walkout comes as Labour government faces calls for higher pay across public sector
Train drivers will stage a series of weekend strikes on the UK’s east coast mainline this autumn, in a new dispute just days after the government agreed a 14 per cent pay deal with the union to end nationwide walkouts. The Aslef union said
is one of the UK’s busiest rail companies and operates services linking London to Edinburgh. The announcement on Friday was a sign that disruptive industrial action is set to continue in Britain despite the new Labour government agreeing inflation-busting pay deals to end disputes. Just two days ago, Aslef agreed a deal with the new Labour government to end two years of nationwide strikes in England in exchange for a 14 per cent pay deal over three years.
