Virgin Trains Catering Strike ‘Rock Solid’ Says RMT
« on: April 26, 2007, 12:46:23 PM »

More than 70 workers walked out for 24 hours this morning to demand the re-instatement of three colleagues , including an RMT rep , sacked after a row over alleged bullying (link below.)

Virgin today staffed trains out of Lime Street with managers , some of whom do not possess a food hygiene certificate , acting as chefs and stewards. Among these are the investigating officer from the disciplinary process , the dismissing officer and a Virgin press officer.
