"I'm disappointed that Aslef and RMT members have voted in favour of industrial action following our recent discussions over pay. It's extremely disappointing that Aslef has announced two days of industrial action in November on London Underground, despite our offer being fair and reasonable. We have held several constructive discussions with our trade unions and, after considering their feedback, have made a revised offer, with an average uplift of 4.6 per cent. This rewards our staff for their hard work and benefits the lowest paid staff the most."
Aslef's full-time organiser on London Underground Finn Brennan said: "We don't want to go on strike we don't want to make travelling in and around the capital more difficult for passengers and we don't want to lose a day's pay but we have been forced into this position due to the lack of an acceptable pay offer from TfL. We have tried to engage in constructive discussions, but the proposals we received are insufficient to meet the needs of our drivers."
