Terrorist threat exacerbated by staff cuts on Scotland’s railways
PRESSURES stemming from terrorist threats are being exacerbated by staff cuts on Scotland’s railways, CCTV workers said today following a vote to strike.
The Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) blamed “bad management” at ScotRail after bosses offered voluntary redundancy to 17 of the company’s 22 specialist CCTV workers.
The union said ScotRail had agreed to create new posts to make up for a shortfall but failed to keep the promise.
