“I was impressed by both Head Office and the Regional Organiser in assisting me in dealing with some recent allegations about my work”.

Thanks to J Carrigan, Scotland & North England Regional Organiser
ATCU President

I had to write in to thank the ATCU and especially Jim Carrigan for all the help and support that I received during my recent discipline and code of practice hearing. If it was not for Jim’s years of experience and knowledge I do not think that the outcome of these hearings would have been so favourable.

Thanks to S Trumm, Eastern & Underground Regional Organiser

Last week our depot, was doing a rdw ban. The local level rep told me on Tuesday it was off. Then Thursday it was on again. So I rang Mr Trumm on the Thursday evening and he informed me that it  was going to be off on Friday. I don't know how or where he knew this but keep up the good work
