Mick Whelan, general secretary of Aslef, stated: 'The continued failure of the company to resolve long-standing industrial relations issues has forced us into this position. We would much rather not be here but the company has brutally, and repeatedly, broken diagramming and roster agreements, failed to adhere to the agreed bargaining machinery, and totally acted in bad faith.'
An LNER spokesperson said: 'Our priority focus will be on minimising disruption to customers during the forthcoming Aslef strikes, which sadly will continue to cause disruption and delays. We are surprised and disappointed to hear this news following recent constructive conversations.'
