We want a resolution, says Aslef general secretary on start of three-day rail strike

The transcript discusses a pay dispute involving workers who haven't received a pay rise in five years amidst a cost of living crisis. The workers, represented by unions, are negotiating with private sector employers, not the government, despite political challenges. The union has successfully negotiated multiple pay deals without changing terms and conditions but faces political dogma and misdirection. The union remains determined to continue strike actions, supported by public sentiment, and seeks a resolution through normal bargaining processes. The future prospects depend on government and employer actions.
