Train managers strike over sacking of colleague

TRAIN managers on Virgin West Coast are set to stage a 24-hour strike in a dispute over the dismissal of a colleague.

Members of the RMT will walk out on November 19, following weeks of banning overtime.

The union called the “shocking treatment and dismissal of a colleague” a “straightforward and vicious case of victimisation.”
