A rally and lobby of parliament will take place on Wednesday of 27th January 2010 in the fight to stop the axing of nearly 1500 safety-critical maintenance jobs by Network Rail. A timetable for a national ballot for industrial action by rail maintenance staff will be confirmed shortly.

The severe weather conditions this week have underlined the importance of having proper staffing levels on the rail network with reports that some of the transport problems have been worsened by a shortage of crew to de-freeze tracks and points – and that’s before Network Rail push through a further 1500 job cuts.

The next Morden & Oval branch meeting will take place at The Wheatsheaf Public House, 2, Upper Tooting Road, SW17 7PG

The meeting starts at 5.30pm. The pub is situated next to Tooting Bec tube station (Northern Line).
