A national campaign run by RMT to oppose cuts in staffing of stations and ticket offices.
Friday 23rd of April 1pm (1300hrs) at Liverpool Street Station outside McDonald's
We will be gathering to leaflet the public with news about the planned jobs cull and invite them to sign the petition.
Please come along to show your support for the cause and make an impact!
A flyer to advertise the day is attached.
Click '1 attachment' / file name to download a petition against the job cuts. Get your friends, workmates and family to sign it, stand outside your station and collect signatures, knock on doors in your neighbourhood ... and once it is filled in, send it in, print off another one and start all over again!
RMT faces a vital struggle to stop London Underground's plans to cut 7-800 jobs. We would like the support of the wider trade union movement.
If you are a member of another trade union, or if you are a delegate to a trades council (borough TUC), please consider proposing a resolution on this subject to your next meeting. You may like to base it on the draft below.

Resolution - SOS: Staff Our Stations
London Underground plans to close or cut most of its ticket offices, and to reduce station staffing by over 1,000 staff. To provide customer service and safety, London Underground stations need more staff not fewer. Popular opposition stopped planned ticket office closures in 2008; now we need the same popular opposition to stop them again.
RMT has set up a petition against the job cuts on the 10 Downing Street website. It will take you just a minute or so to add your name, and give a big boost to our campaign to save jobs.
