ASLEF urges the Government to rethink the proposed reforms to the welfare system.
ASLEF Statement:
ASLEF is firmly anti-austerity.
This legislation will impact the most vulnerable in our society, pushing hundreds of thousands of people into poverty, people who have already experienced 14 years of the Conservative's economic attacks.
There must be real consultation on all proposed changes and proper time must be given to consider the results before a vote on any changes can take place.
We urge the Government to listen to the concerns raised by Labour politicians and disabled organisations and charities and reconsider this course of action.
