The ink had hardly dried on the assurance from senior management that St Paul's would keep their pandemic roster when local management had another punt at imposing full rosters again. With passenger numbers still well down, there is absolutely no need for staff to be put at additional risk of infection by being at work when they are not needed, and cramming into mess facilities where social distancing is impossible.
Staff have had enough of being given the runaround, so the local RMT branch discussed a call for industrial action. As of today (Monday 7 December), the local manager has confirmed in writing that the reduced roster will be reinstated. If there's any further management shenanigans, staff need to pull the trigger on a formal dispute and ballot.
