Time and Attendance Software Issues Manning Level Warning During Strikes

Managing staff rotas when faced with the prospects of strike action can be a daunting time for any manager, but the comprehensive Time and Attendance Software solutions from Tensor could certainly help.

This is exactly the type of situation the managers at Virgin East Coast could potentially face in the near future, as rail workers have voted to go out on strike in a dispute over job cuts, working conditions and safety, according to the RMT union.

The rail company and the union are in dispute over staffing changes, which the company says would have no impact on safety and no compulsory job losses.

Five out of six of those who voted in the ballot backed walkouts and the union said its leaders will now consider their next move.

Virgin Trains responded to the result by saying it would run a full timetable during any RMT strike action.
