RMT calls for an end to outsourcing on the railways.

Arriva Rail North has contracted out the work of staffing at many of its stations to an outsourcing company called Carlisle Security Services Ltd. These workers are earning less than the Real Living Wage of £9 an hour.

Provide passengers on the GWR route with a proper catering service by reinstating the buffet car in all new Intercity Express Trains from which it has been removed.

Station staff play a vital role in helping deliver a safe, secure and accessible railway. But government and train companies are cutting station staff, de-staffing stations and closing tickets offices. This threatens passenger service and safety, especially at a time of rising crime on the railway.

Please take a couple of minutes to help in the fight for an accessible railway. Staff our Stations. A Guard on every train. Please act by 15 February, 2019.

The campaign will focus on five key areas to: * Save Our Services * Save Our Guards * Save Our Station Staff * Save Our Engineers * Save Our Cleaning & Maintenance teams

RMT is calling for Abellio ScotRail's proposals to cut 12% of services, or around 100,000 a year, to be withdrawn and for the Scottish Government to commit to protecting ScotRail services.
