TUC EMERGENCY PROTEST - Protect the Right to Strike! Mon 22nd May 6pm - Parliament Square

Rishi Sunak wants to take away our right to strike. The Tories are forcing their anti-union “sack key workers bill” through parliament as quickly as they can. It means that when you democratically vote to strike, you could be forced to work and sacked if you don't.

These new laws are a direct attack on our fundamental right to strike to defend our pay, terms and conditions. We need to stop this bill.

Join the emergency protest in Parliament Square on Monday 22nd May at 6pm

RMT Regional Organiser Jared Wood has written to London Underground to reject their 'Train Modernisation' plans.

In his letter, Jared states:

"A future based on ten-hour shifts, six hours working without a meal-break, remote booking on/off without travelling time, cross-line working, short-notice cover, the end of most spare turns, an end to fixed links, maximising of driving time and minimising of breaks and the reduction of over 300 train operator positions cannot be accepted by RMT."
