Train drivers in Britain begin strike over pay dispute

London, Apr 5 (UNI) Train drivers at 16 rail companies in Britain began a new wave of strikes starting from Friday, amid a long-running dispute over pay.
Members of the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF), a trade union of train drivers in England, Scotland and Wales, were expected to take part in a program of rolling one-day strikes between Friday and next Monday.
ASLEF announced the industrial action last month, calling on the train companies and the government "to come to the table for meaningful talks to negotiate a new pay deal for train drivers who have not had an increase in salary since 2019."
