RMT reaction to latest TFL cuts plans
- TUBE CUTS JACKED UP FROM 5 BILLION TO 7.6 BILLION IN NEW TFL PLAN
- MASSIVE THREAT TO TUBE SAFETY AND SECURITY IN RUN UP TO OLYMPICS
- PASSENGERS FACE MORE DISRUPTION AND BREAKDOWNS WHILE FARES ROCKET
- RMT General Secretary Bob Crow said:
"With the tube lurching from crisis to crisis it defies belief that Boris Johnson and his officials are jacking up their cuts target from £5 billion to £7.6 billion. These new cuts will drag the underground even deeper into the spiral of decline with breakdowns, failures and disruption a daily fact of life.
"We can expect a threat to hundreds more jobs while maintenance takes another hit, turning the underground into a death trap and a criminals’ paradise. Security and safety will be compromised in the run up to the Olympics and RMT is demanding a halt to this cuts carnage beneath the London streets out into the suburbs before it is too late."
