I appreciate where you’re coming from, but it was shared already widely on twitter. I’ve just lifted the screen grab from there.
Was published on twitter by the "Anon SWR" account already..........
Fair enough.
Right now, anonswr publishing it doesn't really help anyone as just arouses more anxiety from passengers that may be totally unnecessary.
To be really pedantic, anonswr on twitter claims drivers are 'in dispute' with SWR but I believe in trade union collective bargaining, being 'in dispute' is a formal declaration to the company from the union that industrial relations have broken down over the issue being talked about as a pre cursor of moving towards some sort of further action.
Currently there is NO formal dispute between aslef and swr.
Clearly there is a massive gulf between the two sides, though even that may not be true as I detect the guiding hand of the dft and government behind this, not helped by SWR being on the radar of dft for poor performance and First's poverty pleas. Whether the dft have blocked this is the question, as drivers were lead to believe that some sort of deal was very close.
What happens after the ten days elapse is the big unknown right now but it fair to say that this pay deal, that was due on1 April 2019, is now sorely testing the patience of drivers and clearly they will be in formal dispute if nothing is forthcoming soon.
The company are still agreeing pay deals, as the guards, station staff etc have just had a pay offer accepted by the RMT if mess room talk is correct.
