The conflict between the train drivers and the MTR is escalating – threatening a wild strike

In a blog post and on Facebook, the train drivers are now calling for a “wild strike on the shuttle” starting on Monday at 03:00 and that the “only way to get full driver staffing is to get full train attendant staffing”.

– We are aware of this, says Matilda Hjalte at MTR’s press service to Aftonbladet.

Since March, half of all commuter trains have been running without train attendants. This has resulted in sick leave which has led to several canceled departures and staff shortages, which SVT previously reported on.
