RMT in dispute with bosses over work life balance issues for train drivers

We note the report from our Lead Officer regarding the company’s failure to adhere to commitments made toward a better work life balance for LU Train Staff; and the detrimental course taken in these talks and current proposals which if are introduced will lead to fatigue and potentially to mistakes such as spads.
