Drivers' union votes for Southern strikes
Members of the drivers' union Aslef are accusing Southern railway of wanting to impose changes rather than reach an agreement. The dispute is separate to long-running row between Southern and the Rail, Maritime and Transport union over changes to the role of conductors. Aslef said Southern had "Dug its heels in" over the changes. "Mick Whelan, Aslef's general secretary, said:"Our trade dispute with the company is that there should be no introduction and/or extension of new driver-only operated routes on Southern without the agreement of Aslef. London Underground drivers are to stage a 24-hour strike on 6 and 7 December, coinciding with a walkout by Southern rail guards.
