Attendance At Work - New Procedure?

From 'RMT On The Trains' newsletter, August 2008

We have been told that at many Depots, Management are re-interpreting the Attendance at work policy (which we never agreed or signed up to!). Full 26 /52 week cautions are being given, despite people trying to minimise their time off, and any mitigation is being ignored!

We are now being told that things such as Hospital treatment that would not normally be itemised are now going to be! In truth, this is the policy that certain people at the top wanted, and as usual the innocent will suffer. The RMT will do all we can to fight this injustice!
