London Underground : are you listening? We are going to strike unless you reinstate Lee Cornell.
Lee Cornell is a CSA at London Bridge with over 10 years exemplary service.
He is a dedicated, honest and proactive member of staff.
His crime was to go to assist a pregnant member of staff who had been physically assaulted by a fare evader.
