RAIL staff are threatening to strike after a colleague was sacked for telling angry passengers the truth about why they were being served sub-standard food.

Catering crew leader Mark Doughty was fired by East Coast trains because he explained that a staff shortage and broken boiler meant they could not provide first-class customers with the full cooked breakfast they should have received on the early-morning Edinburgh-London train.

East Coast management accused Mr Doughty, an employee for nearly 14 years, of bringing the company into disrepute.

But the passenger who first complained about the poor service was horrified to learn of the sacking.


Please feel free to flood the east coast train website with your opinions on someone getting sacked for telling the truth.


 
That is mad. Had the same on the Virgin Train 1st class :103:

Toaster was broken once, hence no toast, so they explained because I asked. It didn't bring them into disrepute, it explained the situation.

Then one traumatic journey, they could only do bacon or sausage sarnies, something had gone wrong with the oven for the breakfast... I'm welling up as I think about this incident!!

But again, they just politely explained.
 
Blimey! I got a shiver then when I seen the title Ha! I thought 'I know we happy but spilling it into Witton is naughty step time' :19:

Then I read the post. That is flipin crazy. I hope he can get compensation from them
 
the union will be all over this I think and he'll either be re-instated with a full apology or very well compensated for Constructive Unfair Dismissal. It might not get his job back but he'll be given a tidy sum whilst he looks for another job.
