Railway strike would be kamikaze
“Whatever differences there are between management and the unions, there is no reason for the passenger to suffer,” said Norman Baker, the Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary.
Commenting on the decision by trade union Aslef to ballot its members at First Capital Connect over possible strike action, Norman Baker said:
“A 1970s style industrial dispute is the last thing the railways need.
“Whatever differences there are between management and the unions, there is no reason for the passenger to suffer.
“When we are trying to encourage people on to trains this kind of action would be kamikaze.”
