When I first contacted the union I had been away from work for approaching a Year due to problems with my right arm (repetitive use). During this time I had been pleading with Network Rail to take my problem seriously and for some action to help me return to work. However, I often did not even receive a response. This was becoming increasingly frustrating and I was beginning to think my career at Network Rail may have been over. Since RMT representative Paul Burton took over my case there has been massive improvement in the way my department deals with me, my requests are being listened to and I returned to work within two weeks. Paul always returned my calls and always made me feel like I was supported. I cannot thank Paul or RMT enough for all the help and support during this very difficult period for me. yours sincerely, Brenda Vaz LETTERS
