Long hours average 20hr shifts on call, disciplined if missed a call due to asleep/fatigue. Bullying management methods. Go without mentality for tools/PPE having to wait months for new basic tooling etc.

The following comments have been provided by one of our HR Business Partners: Thank you for your company review. We are working hard to minimise the impact of standby on working hours. Changes have been implemented in depots to help reduce hours worked this winter and additional checks have been implemented by the Control Centre to monitor hours worked. A thorough review will be undertaken in 2019 with our TU colleagues, with the aim of making significant improvements for next winter. You make reference to a bullying management style which is something we take very seriously. I would be grateful if you would get in touch so that we can discuss this further. You can reach me on 07836 755950 / iain.fourniss@sgn.co.uk
