Union leader Mick Whelan brands reported £2,000 rise just before latest 24-hour strike as ‘tokenism’
The train drivers’ union has dismissed as “tokenism” a pay offer reportedly being drawn up by the government before a new strike by its members on Thursday.
Mick Whelan, the general secretary of Aslef, said the union had received no offer nor entered fresh talks, but said a possible £2,000 rise reported in the Sun “would not fly”.
