RMT safety rep reinstated
The threat of a strike ballot has forced Northern Rail to reinstate a victimised safety rep and to pay workers off sick after an assault. Rail union RMT lifted a ballot threat last month after the company pledged to adhere to its policy of paying average wages to staff on sick leave after being assaulted at work, and re-instated a sacked health and safety representative and agreed to honour disciplinary procedures.
