I’m all for the worker…however, I’m not sure if this isn’t just a bored shop steward political power play by Unite with a wider focus at play that advances the prospects and aims of the union…less so their members.

They know surely GNE is not at its strongest and it’s position within a larger group is entirely irrelevant, they know increased costs further erode margins hence the recent cuts and multiple fare rises. We still don’t know the plans of the new owners, passenger number growth (weekends like the railway seem ok but hybrid is killing the commute)

I can’t help but fear the union cannot see beyond their nose at this stage….but with saga of CLS…I can see why management are to be looked at with suspicion, if not in the case of GNEs local management…despair and derision
