Title: Elizabeth Line Industrial Action - 2025 Post by: Ollie on February 13, 2025, 22:35:28 ASLEF have announced strike days for drivers working for Elizabeth Line
Dates announced so far are: 27th February, 1st March, 8th March and 10th March from 00:01 to 23:59. More information can be seen on the ASLEF press release: https://aslef.org.uk/publications/train-drivers-strike-elizabeth-line Title: Re: Elizabeth Line Industrial Action - 2025 Post by: ChrisB on February 14, 2025, 09:10:00 They've refused a 4.5% pay offer.....
Title: Re: Elizabeth Line Industrial Action - 2025 Post by: TaplowGreen on February 16, 2025, 11:37:13 I understand that the average train driver’s salary on the line is £72,465 for a 34-hour, four-day week - which would have risen by £3,261 to £75,726 under the proposed 4.5%.
I'm not sure it'll attract too much public sympathy, and 4.5% is comfortably above CPI. Is this dispute about more than money?

Quote NEW: All planned strikes on Elizabeth Line now cancelled. ASLEF's executive committee has considered the improved pay offer from MTR Elizabeth Line and accepted the new offer. Strikes planned for 27/02, 01/03, 08/03 and 10/03 are therefore cancelled. https://x.com/ASLEFunion/status/1894698966475829341 This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
