RMT Responds To Tory Anti Worker Laws
Submitted by rmtlondon on 15 July, 2015 - 14:31General Secretary Mick Cash said; "We know that these brutal new anti-union laws are specifically targeted at our members in the transport sector who have shown in recent months that they have the guts to stand up and fight for jobs, pay, services and safety. The response of this Government mirrors the actions of hard-right regimes throughout history - shackle the unions, criminalise it's members and use a raft of new laws to try and bankrupt workers' organisations.

London Underground - fingered again in unfair dismissal case
It is with boring monotony that LUL are continually caught out at Employment Tribunals for unfairly sacking members of their staff
The latest case is James Lambert, a CSA from Stratford whose heinous crimes were.....to be honest I am not sure.
He was accused of a racial assault on a security guard.
Found not guilty. In court
He was accused of assault on the security guard
Found not guilty. In court.
LUL sacked James for bringing the company into disrepute.
For being found not guilty? In court.

Submitted by Eamonn Lynch on 13 July, 2015 - 20:17We are aware that ASLEF have named further strike dates tonight and we support them in their action. The RMT will announce what we plan to do shortly. We believe solidarity will win this dispute and that principal will be foremost as we decide on our next steps.
