Gary Carney booked off sick after vomiting at work. For most people, this would be a cause for compassion. For LUL management, it's a reason to sack him.

The company's pretext is that he avoided a Drugs and Alcohol test - but as we all know, when you are summoned to your manager's office for a...

The ink had hardly dried on the assurance from senior management that St Paul's would keep their pandemic roster when local management had another punt at imposing full rosters again. With passenger numbers still well down, there is absolutely no need for staff to be put at additional risk of...

There’s a roster redesign underway at Bank... four new full-time CSA positions are being created.

Great! Or so you’d think... turns out local management plan to pay for this by deleting six positions from the part-time CSA establishment, three of which are vacant. As for the other three, the...

It's becoming an all-too familiar pattern on trains.
