Thanks to pressure from RMT and TSSA reps, management on the SRT have abandoned their plan to move SRT staff off their rosters to cover local absences.
Bosses have agreed to unions' demand that coverage be resourced from within SRT rosters patterns, allowing the SRT to be utilised to cover local absences whilst allowing SRT staff to retain their existing rest days and fixed links. This scheme will be piloted for an initial six weeks.
It's a good win for SRT staff, who faced the prospect of having their work/life balance thrown into turmoil by being placed on entirely new rosters.
