Lincoln Signal Workers Name Strike Dates
« on: February 15, 2008, 05:19:45 PM »
A rail union in Lincoln will stage two 24-hour strikes in the next fortnight over the possible redundancy of a senior manager (link below.)

The RMT said a manager with 33 years experience is being made redundant rather than being offered another post.

Network Rail said they are exploring career options for the manager.

Managers will take over if the 50 signal workers go on strike on 23 February and 1 March.

The stoppage has been moved from Saturday (March 1) to maximise its impact.

From The Ticket Collector (link below) :
http://www.theticketcollector.co.uk/wordpress/2008/03/01/notwork-blunder-risked-lincoln-rail-catastrophe/

Quote from: The Ticket Collector
An apparently serious blunder by a Network Rail manager who worked a signal box during last Saturday’s Lincoln area signallers’ strike could have had catastrophic consequences.

The RMT union has today asked the Railways Inspectorate to investigate an incident at West Holmes box in which track workers and passengers were put at serious risk by an error that could have sent a passenger train on the Newark-Lincoln line through an engineering site at up to 70mph.

More on today's strike (link below.)
