On Friday, after three days of strikes by nearly 2,000 drivers in London, Unite Regional Officer Guy Langston announced the “suspension” of strikes on Monday and Tuesday of this week.
A driver explained, “Everyone is mad. The drivers are saying the union is a sell-out. Even the managers are saying they’ve never seen the drivers fighting against the company so hard, and against the union as well.”
Drivers from Go Ahead and Metroline spoke out as Unite officials stepped up efforts to end the Abellio strike, due to resume February 1 for three days.
