Train drivers say a loud Yes for strike action
TRAIN drivers working on the Southern and Gatwick Express voted overwhelmingly for strike action yesterday in a dispute over driver-only operation.
The Aslef members at the two rail companies delivered an 84 per cent mandate for strike action and 95 per cent for action short of a strike on an 82 per cent turnout.
Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan welcomed the “strong mandate” for action from drivers.
