Supporting RMT's No Sewage on the Tracks Campaign
The motion
That the Parliament notes calls from the RMT union to end by April 2016 the practice of dumping raw sewage directly onto rail lines from rolling stock; understands that rail workers are often sprayed with raw sewage as a result of this practice; notes that retention tanks are due to be fitted on all ScotRail trains by December 2017; recognises that the RMT's No Sewage on the Tracks campaign is calling on Abellio to make the retrofitting of retention tanks a priority when the Dutch company takes over the franchise in April 2015; considers that the dumping of raw sewage so close to where people live and work would not be tolerated by any other industry, and supports the RMT in its campaign.
