FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Action for Rail campaign will be held at London Euston Station with the presence of leaders of all major unions with members in the transport sector including Trades Union Congress General Secretary Brendan Barber, ASLEF General Secretary Mick Whelan, Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) General Secretary Bob Crow, Transport Salaried Staff’s Association (TSSA) General Secretary Manuel Cortes and Unite National Officer Julia Long.
The move comes after a public consultation petition against the staff cuts found 18,000 London Midland passengers oppose them.
Union leaders said their joint campaign with passengers against the redundancies is a fight for the “future of a safe and affordable rail network”, which operators are endangering to pocket lucrative profits.
“This government, using the McNulty Rail Review as cover, is hell-bent on a policy of vandalizing and de-staffing the railways regardless of the consequences for both staff and the travelling public,” Crow said.
“RMT has already exposed the fact that London Midland, the trail-blazer for these policies, stands to pocket millions of pounds in additional profits from its ticket office closure program while passengers are left to take their chances in a criminals’ paradise,” he added.
Unite’s Julia Long echoed Crow saying the cuts are engineered by the government to reduce subsidies to rail services regardless of the impact on the passengers.
“Rail companies are making millions but they are being told to sack staff and cut services by the government so they can reduce subsidies,” Long said.
“Customers are being fleeced while hard-pressed rail workers are being made scapegoats,” she added.
