Many SJ employees testify to SVT about the chaos in the scheduling that has taken place, but they do not dare to appear by name.
SVT is not allowed to talk to responsible managers, but is instead referred to the press department, which will be responsible for external communication.
This is what some of the employees say:
"Granted leave can be withdrawn a few days before", "There may be staff and trains, but the new system says no even though the staff calls in", "Signage is missed when the trip is canceled", "Sick leave me because the load is so hard that I can not go to work ”.
- I can testify that my members are not feeling well.
They have schedules that have very long trips and a bit of recovery, says Sara Wirén, chairman of Seko club Mälartåg.
Works super intensively with the problems
During the first half of the last week, Monday to Wednesday, 60s departures were canceled in Mälardalen, Bergslagen, including the Gävle-Linköping section.
There is no solution or end date for the nightmare for the employees right now, according to Tobbe Lundell, press manager at SJ.
- We have actually caught up with the planning problems, but have a very small margin now that we have increased the number of sick leaves and vab, which leads to vacancies.
We are now looking at resolving the Christmas situation so that those who have applied for leave on Christmas Eve will be notified very soon, he says.
