👌😘 This train driver has the perfect response to media elites complaining about wages...

[Strike Map @strike_map]

.@RockstarGames have generating over $3 billion in pre sales for the upcoming GTA VI, but they still refuse to recognise @IWGB_GW

Stand in solidarity with the workers with many leading figures from the trade union movement https://t.co/VOLg7NalC4

@PACTS Full findings from @PACTS here: https://t.co/gYx8g7nKD2

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

🚆 NEW: Rail freight is *78× safer* than road freight

Moving freight by rail instead of road can reduce risk by up to 98%.

New research from @PACTS

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

@PACTS A single freight train can remove between 75 and 129 HGV movements from our roads – reducing congestion and cutting carbon emissions.

Rail freight is the cleaner, greener and safer alternative.

A Tory frontbencher has revealed his blatant hypocrisy over his position changes to trade union rules

Hours and hours without a toilet break. Unsafe, dirty or inaccessible facilities. Limited access to sanitary products.

From periods to childbirth to menopause, the rail industry is failing women train drivers.

Time's up: dignity for every driver, now.

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

'Drink water.'

That's what employers are telling train drivers in this scorching weather.

But you can't hydrate if you can't urinate.

We need #DignityForDrivers now.

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

Train drivers' health is suffering because of industry inaction.

It's time for the companies to deliver what they promised 12 months ago: no more than four hours without a toilet break.

#DignityForDrivers now.

[Labour🌹Unions @labourunionsuk]

Really positive first TULO meeting today with our new PM @andyburnham and Deputy Leader @LucyMPowell.

We're looking forward to working in partnership to give working people hope again - with good, unionised jobs, strong public services and a New Deal for Workers. 🌹🤝

[International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) @ITFglobalunion]

Access to toilet breaks is a basic workplace right—not a privilege.

Solidarity with @ASLEFunion in its call for action to ensure train drivers receive the dignity and facilities they were promised.

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

'Air conditioned cabs'

[Just unimpressed @justunimpressed]

@ASLEFunion 4 hour and you need a toilet break… your drivers need a urologist if they have to have a ‘leak’ every 4 hours and can’t moderate their intake in their airconditioned cabs to ensure they are not constantly needing a break… you lot are jokers

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

The rail industry agreed that train drivers would not go longer than 4 hours without a toilet break.

A year later, they still haven't done anything about it.

The time for talking is over. #DignityForDrivers now.

If you stood on Briggate at 8am on a weekday in 1957, and stood there again in 2026, in which year could you reach more of the city in half an hour?

Samuel Bancroft has crunched the numbers. Since the 1950s, Leeds has got bigger - but the city has effectively shrunk.

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

The nationalisation of British Steel is excellent news for the railway.

[Steve Rotheram @MetroMayorSteve]

Good news for you Strawberry Shortcake: Merseyrail��s trains are owned by the people of the Liverpool City Region. Now they’ll be run by them too.

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

NEW: Merseyside’s rail network will be run for passengers, not profit!

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has decided that Merseyrail will be publicly owned from 2028.

Profits will be reinvested back into the service instead of being paid out to private operators.

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

In train cabs, bus cabs, kitchens and other workplaces across the country, it's too hot.

Join the call for a maximum working temperature ✍️👇

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has BACKED unions’ call for a maximum working temperature 🌡️

Scorching summers are the new normal. We need legislation that protects workers.

Following the Executive Committee's nomination of Andy Burnham for Labour leader, ASLEF General Secretary Dave Calfe said:

'To deliver real change for working people, unions must be true partners in this Labour government.'

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

The ASLEF Executive Committee has nominated Andy Burnham to be Leader of the Labour Party.
