Used. Abused. Refused. Now re-abused

Used refused and abused,
Now re-abused.

It is disingenuous of London Underground to suggest that the assessments our 33 members were expected to take part in were fair and above board.
The feeling amongst the 33 RMT members is that they were never going to be given a fair crack of the whip on these assessments. What they saw with their own eyes certainly never gave them any confidence they were being treated fairly.
On Tuesday, all black and ethnic applicants at the assessment centre were informed that they had failed. Meanwhile, a white applicant initially informed that he had failed, later received a phone call on his way home, advising that the centre had made a mistake and was now allowing him through. Is LU filling job vacancies based on meeting quotas?
It is a farce that these applicants are made to perform circus tricks (jumping through hoops) by attending workshops. It brings into question the legitimacy of the workshop when such a low uptake is successful compared to external counterparts. It cannot be forgotten that all these applicants have been working in the roles that they were assessed on.
Those that somehow slipped through the screening process and went through to the interview stage have been told they face a further 10 days before finding out if they are successful in getting a job. A job let’s not forget they have been doing for the past 5 years
We have been used. Abused. Refused. We have now been re-abused.
We will not be ignored & we will not go away until we get Justice for the 33
