Strike action by members on
Cross Country trains and by
staff at Edinburgh Waverley
Station was solidly supported.
Train managers and senior
conductors on Cross Country
are out in a fight to stop the
company from watering down
and undermining the role of
safety critical grades and the
Gate Gourmet staff in
Edinburgh are striking again in
a long running dispute over
bullying and harassment in the
workplace.
RMT general secretary Mick
Lynch paid tribute to the two
groups of rail workers on Cross
Country and at Edinburgh
Waverley who are both
standing firm in their fight to
defend safety and a working
envir onment free for bullying
and harassment.
"Disruption to services is
down to the private
companies who think they can
treat rail workers with barely
concealed contempt as they
ride roughshod over them.
"RMT is well aware that an
industrial relations storm is
brewing across our railways
and that this action is just a
taste of what's to come in
2022.
“This trade union will stand
up and fight wherever jobs,
safety, pay and conditions are
under attack and the
employers need to wake up to
that fact,” he said.
