TRAIN guards will go ahead with industrial action on South Western Railway from Friday after bosses “resorted to threats” rather than engaging with staff, union RMT said yesterday.
RMT guards and drivers will refuse to work rest days for four days, while guards have also been instructed not to follow a recent restructuring agreement.
The union, which is embroiled in similar disputes at four other train operators, said the action will affect services.
