Is the pension tied to RPS?

I can’t really comment on your circumstances but sorry that’s happened to you. From the experiences I’ve seen where I am they’ve been pretty supportive of people still in their probationary periods.

Do this right now. https://join.rmt.org.uk/app/#/welcome Don’t over worry, it’ll be ok. But join right now.

How many did you see? Chances are trainee drivers as there’s training going on. 1725616755 No industrial relation issues just shortages.

Also been told today we should expect our ballot papers in the next few days.

I’m sure someone of your knowledge already knows the answer. Higher than other European countries for sure.
