On Track with Diversity
18/06/2019ASLEF SearchResearchItemsThe ASLEF union has published its On Track with Diversity report as it looks to increase the numbers of female, BAME and young people applying for driving positions within the industry. It shows that just 6.5% of drivers within Great Britain are female, 8% are from ethnic minorities, and 15% are under 35 years old. ASLEF is looking to narrow these discrepancies, although it says that since the last On Track with Diversity report was published in 2012, some progress and culture changes have been made. A more positive finding of the report (commissioned from the Institute of Employment Rights) is that drivers have one of the smallest wage gaps between men and women - 0.7% compared with a national average figure across all occupations of 18.4%.
