UK Train Strikes Near End as Aslef and Labour Government Propose 14% Pay Deal
Aug 14, 2024, 06:07 PM
The UK government and the train drivers' union, Aslef, have reached a potential breakthrough in resolving the long-standing rail strikes. A new pay offer, which includes a 14% increase over three years with no changes to working practices, has been proposed. The offer, which aims to end two years of industrial action, will be put to a member referendum. The average salary for train drivers is expected to rise from £60,000 to £69,000. This development follows negotiations between the Department for Transport and Aslef, with both parties expressing optimism about ending the strikes. The Labour Government played a significant role in facilitating this agreement.
