Dear Colleagues,
DISMISSAL, GARY CARNEY, TRAIN OPERATOR - LONDON UNDERGROUND
It was annunced today that the government and the Mayor of London have agreed to extend the current Transport for London (TfL) funding deal. The deal, due to expire on 18 May 2021 will be extended by just ten days.
Respondong to the announcement General Secretary Mick Lynch said;
"A high quality London transport network is essential for cutting pollution and rebuilding our wider economy and this continued uncertainty and reliance on short term fixes will simply hold back our economic recovery causing lasting damage.
As lockdown measures ease today and passenger numbers rise, transport union RMT has a issued warning regard to transport staff safety.
