Drivers could go on strike within weeks, saying they have not received a pay rise since 2019.
90 per cent of members from the train drivers' union ASLEF - 636 in total -These are drivers who work for West Midlands Trains Ltd .
Mick Whelan, general secretary of ASLEF said: “With inflation running at north of 10% that means those drivers have had a real terms pay cut over the last three years. We want an increase in line with the cost of living – we want to be able to buy, in 2022, what we could buy in 2021. “We don’t think we’re special; we believe no worker in this country should put up with pay cuts year after year just because this government has allowed inflation to rise. Whatever happened to the Tory wish for good, well-paid, jobs? Obviously that’s only for the CEOs, not for the workers doing the job.”
