Train services across Greater Manchester and the UK will be crippled again today
due to a fresh wave of strikes. None of the major train companies which operate in the region are running services.
He added: "We are determined to get a resolution and remain in this for the long haul. It is time for the Government to step back from interference which is preventing a deal – drivers, in line with other workers, deserve a pay rise after four years without one and inflation running, over the last 12 months, north of 10%."
He described an offer of a 4% pay rise for last year and another 4% this year as 'dismal', adding that there has been no contact between the union and the employers or the Government for weeks. Picket lines will be mounted outside train stations across the country on Saturday, with drivers at 15 companies in England going on strike.
