It's contract law. It is money you are owed because you worked there at that time. The award is a back dated agreement. Google it. 1699786048 It's contract law. the employee has an agreemnet to be paid an amount for the work he does. Just because the agreement is made late does not mean that...

They are legally entiteld to the backpay. But they have to claim it. It's all here. Rumford v York city Council. The simple explaination. Employee has contract with employer. Employer has to pay for all work at the rate agreed ,even if the employee has left the company and the pay award is...

From the report. 97. The driver’s awareness of the signal conditions that could be presented at this junction was not sufficient to overcome their expectation that the train was to be routed on the Up Fast line. That's just laughable. It translated into the Train Driver did not know that they...

There is no legal duty of care. You just make sure he is off the railway because he can cause major disruption. If he falls on the tracks and is killed or injured it is his own fault, as long as the procedures have been followed. No ticket and drunk means report to BTP and get the person off...

If a member of railway staff is sacked they do not lose their pension. The pensions the member has accrued is in a separate entity and the railway has no control over the employees pension. If the employee has been sacked for an offence that has cost the company money the company can apply to...

The force majeure agreements between the government and the TOC's are a major problem. The RMT need to try and get the payments stopped. If the government had not taken over the TOC's they would be a lot more reluctant to pay out. These agreements that were made at the start of a properly...

As I said watch the video see what he says. Video 1.42-1.54 sec. https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/mick-lynch-update-on-national-rail-dispute/ Quote "So they are now saying that we have to go into the second stage of negotiations without a mandate AND WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO TAKE THAT THAT ACTION...

Maybe this will convince you. 1.42- 1.58 seconds Mick Lynch explaining as I said no action can be taken if the 5%/1750 is taken. https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/rmt-rejects-proposals-as-employers-torpedo-negotiating-process/

As far as I am concerned it's wrong. The posted from the RMT it clearly says if the RMT accepts the first part of the offer of 5%/£1750 negotiations then take place on part two but 'no further action can be taken'. That means an agreement must be reached and there will be no right to ballot...

That what this means: From RMT as posted earlier. Quote: Astonishingly, the RDG confirmed that the proposed Year One payment of 5% or £1750 is dependent on our dispute being formally terminated and no further action being taken. This would mean having to move into stage two discussions...

What this amounts to is giving up your right to take industrial action indefinitely for a 5% /£1750 pay rise. Insane! No union could agree to that!

In 1978 British Rail ran more that 900 weekly trains with buffet cars and or full restaurants on them. Most ran until privatisation. The offerings throughout the day were: Full English breakfast. Morning coffee/tea and biscuits. 3 course lunch served a la carte. Afternoon tea. High Tea. 3...

What were the other two Countries please?

W Eh! Try it in the UK and see what happens. Unless the drivers agree it won't happen. implemented :rolleyes:

In the UK it is the Train Drivers that say if DOO is going to be introduced. How is it that you do not have the same power to strike if DOO is threatened?

Seems to me that there is a move to eradicate all standard class food and drink. Only first class will be able to obtain food on-board in future. Hull Trains, much hailed open access operator abandoned all STD class refreshments on all 14 of their daily trains over a year ago. No food or drink...

Maybe this person "Well in the know" can tell us why he concludes that there should be a driver only union?

How is it that some Train operating Companies are issuing Penalty fares yet others are not? Who decides which companies implement a Penalty fare scheme? I thought the GB Rail thing was supposed to bring consistency?

Thanks. I did not see that. Much admiration to him.
