prop·a·gan·da (prp-gnd)
n.

The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information
reflecting the views and interests of those people advocating such a
doctrine or cause.

Sounds pretty right by me, the railway employees have been spreading
propaganda that the machines are unreliable, in order to further their cause
(retain station staff).
