Transport Minister Handed 'Justice For The 33' Leaflet

London Underground inherited a contract with the Trainpeople agency from Silverlink in 2007. In breach of agreements with unions, for five years LU continued to use agency staff in LU uniform while Trainpeople paid them as little as £6.75 per hour. Trainpeople staff joined RMT and organised for equal rights with permanent staff as stipulated in the 2010 Agency Worker Regulations. Then, without warning, LU terminated its contract with the Trainpeople Agency a year early!

Since then the RMT union have organised several protests demanding the re-employment of the sacked workers. During today's protest (14/01/13) outside LU HQ at St. James Park station Tory Minister of Justice, on his way to a meeting in Scotland Yard, was asked by protesters to look into the injustice that has been done to the sacked agency workers.
