Aslef said it wanted to increase the pressure on the 'intransigent' train companies and the 'tone-deaf' Government following a series of strikes stretching back nearly two years. Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan said: 'Last month, when we announced renewed mandates for industrial action, because under the Tories' draconian anti-union laws we have to ballot our members every six months, we called on the train companies, and the Government, to come to the table for meaningful talks to negotiate a new pay deal for train drivers who have not had an increase in salary since 2019.' He added: 'Our members voted overwhelmingly - yet again - for strike action. 'Those votes show a clear rejection by train drivers of the ridiculous offer put to us in April last year by the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) which knew that offer would be rejected because a land grab for all the terms and conditions we have negotiated over the years would never be accepted by our members. 'We have given the Government every opportunity to come to the table but it is now clear they do not want to resolve this dispute. They are happy for it go on and on.'
