Scotland rail unions accuse new public operator of continuing privatisation disaster
SCOTLAND’S four rail unions have united in fury against new public-sector bosses for “carrying on where private operators left off” with attacks on workers’ jobs, pay and conditions.
The unions, Aslef, RMT, TSSA and Unite, said publicly owned Scottish Rail Holdings intended to go even further than failed private operator Abellio by introducing compulsory redundancies.
Scottish Rail Holdings was established by the Scottish government as “operator of last resort” to take over from Abellio when the company’s franchise ends on March 31.
