40 freight train drivers at three Southern Region depots, Hither Green, St. Leonards and Tonbridge, refused to carry on working single manning because of the delay in settling their bonus claim. When the’ management refused to allow them to revert to double manning they came out on strike as from Sunday night. As was reported last week, ASLEF have called for a work to rule from the 16th of this month, but it seems that such action is not strong enough for some of the men who have been waiting since September of 1965 for this issue to be settled. In the circumstances the men's attitude is completely justified. All managements are notoriously willing to go on talking just so long as the men keep on working. When a factory or a depot grinds to a halt it is remarkable how concerned many people become to see a dispute settled. Let's hope this will be the case here.
