<p>The Government recognises the significant impact that rail industrial action has
on businesses and individuals. That is why the Transport Secretary and Rail Minister
have facilitated discussions between industry and trade unions to help resolve current
disputes. We are pleased that RMT, TSSA and Unite have now ended disputes with the
train operators, with further discussions to follow on important workforce reforms.</p><p>
</p><p>ASLEF are now the only union left in dispute. We have urged ASLEF to put the
current offer on the table, facilitated by Ministers, to their members but they still
refuse to do so. The Department for Transport also works with its contracted train
operators to ensure that disruption from strikes is minimised as much as possible.</p>
