Resolving the two-year ASLEF pay dispute will be high on the agenda for the new government.

The drivers’ union has held 16 one-day strikes since July 30 2022, and has withdrawn rest day working (voluntary overtime) on 11 different blocks of dates since May 2023. Further industrial action was put on hold when the General Election was called, pending the appointment of a new Transport Secretary.
