Tram drivers in south London have announced they will strike for the third time this year over pay.
Aslef said that due to inflation an offered 3% pay rise was actually a pay cut and they had any contact from management since July's strike.Aslef says their drivers have had their wages frozen for two years and the offered pay rise is not fair during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
"It seems FirstGroup, which operates the tram system on behalf of TfL, doesn't care about either the welfare of their staff or the impact on their passengers of more disruption."He continued: "Their offer means a huge wage cut for staff who face being unable to heat their homes and pay their bills this winter.
Mr Brennan accused FirstGroup of neglecting the needs of staff: "FirstGroup are prioritising the pay and perks of their bosses above a fair deal for staff.
