What the petition asks
Strike action by Southern train drivers resulted in 18 months of chaos affecting millions of commuters. Now a deal has been accepted for a 28% pay rise.
This is an unacceptable outcome where the deal should be withdrawn, face public inquiry, and such strike action being made illegal in future
