Aslef urges drivers to accept new deal
But conductors’ union RMT says offer will still slash guards
UNION reps met train drivers yesterday to persuade them to accept a new peace deal with Southern Rail.
Drivers’ union Aslef signed off a proposed compromise with bosses to end the long-running dispute over driver-only operated (DOO) trains.
After drivers rejected a deal brokered by the TUC last month, negotiators secured a pledge for all on-board staff to retain safety-critical training.
