Following the appalling attacks on
London Underground in July, RMT
called for the withdrawal of plans to
scrap Tube safety rules and planned
station staff job cuts.
RMT has joined Labour MPs to
demand the withdrawal of plans to
scrap vital safety rules introduced
after the 1987 King's Cross fire
tragedy. The union has also called on
London Underground to drop cost-
cutting plans to axe hundreds of
station staff jobs.
“The introduction of these cost-
cutting measures were unacceptable
before July 7 but these terrible events
show just how vital safety rules and
the presence of trained uniformed
staff are,” said RMT general secretary
Bob Crow.
