Train managers 'angry over work life balance' in roster row ahead of strike on Sunday
Train managers at under-fire rail operator Avanti West Coast are 'angry' at having their 'work life balance' ruined, a union said today ahead of scheduled strikes on Sunday.
The RMT union, in a statement issued on Saturday, said there was a 'continuing row over rosters', claiming Avanti were 'imposing rosters to prevent cancellations'. Trains that do run, added the union, are 'hugely overcrowded'. "Avanti continue to operate with a siege mentality hoping that our members will simply give in. The truth is they need to negotiate rosters properly with our union and run the railway in a professional way. That seems a long way off and our industrial campaign will continue into next month."
Avanti West Coast, which has come under fire for reducing its trains between Manchester and London, although services are set to increase in early December, said it would 'operate a significantly reduced timetable' on Sunday, 20 November
