I bloody hope not, that would be a poor excuse.
It may however affect travel for fans though.

ASLEF just announced 7th August through to 12th August, following their previous announcement of 31st July to 5th August.
Once again, they know what they’re doing regarding the dates as they know this will have a huge impact due to the Saturdays they have announced being the opening weekends of both the Football League and then the Premier League

None of the operators have these dates as strike dates from what I can see.
Above post. I stand corrected.

I read it as it would finish on the 12th so we should be all good??
and so it begins... zzzzzzzzzz
It's an overtime ban, not a strike so trains should run, there will just be fewer of them...
ASLEF, the train drivers’ union, has today [Monday] announced another week-long overtime ban in our long-running dispute with 15 train companies in England which have not given their train drivers – our members – a pay rise since 2019. Drivers will refuse to work overtime from Monday 7 to Saturday 12 August.
The ban which will seriously disrupt services as none of the train companies employs enough drivers to deliver the services they have promised passengers, and the government, they will run. That’s why they are dependent on rest day working, as it is called in the railway industry, which of course is voluntary, and, by agreement, and is a system in place properly to be used for the purposes of training, rather than plugging holes in their rosters.
The withdrawal of non-contractual overtime will start at 00:01 on Monday 7 August and end at 23:59 on Saturday 12 August at: Avanti West Coast; Chiltern Railways; Cross Country; East Midlands Railway; Greater Anglia; Great Western Railway; GTR Great Northern Thameslink; Island Line; LNER; Northern Trains; Southeastern; Southern/Gatwick Express; South Western Railway main line; TransPennine Express; and West Midlands Trains.

When their employers prioritise staff well-being and passenger safety above profits for shareholders?

Opinionated
If they don't want to work under the conditions set by their employers, then they should go and get a different job
Deportivo Seagull
I should coco
I take it then that goes for nurses and doctors as well?
But they are working…as has been pointed out.
Broken Britain.
I think you’ll find they are working to EXACTLY the conditions set by their employers. They’re not doing an iota more than that, though.
