Fantastic support from all our members

A magnificent effort by all RMT members in supporting the action over the last 2 days
Despite the lies and half-truths pedalled by LUL management and the anti -trade union media we have shown that with solidarity and unity our stance is absolutely the right one.
We stood firm and had a massive impact on services.
Mike Brown lied on BBC news when he said the RMT had not turned up for talks at ACAS with LUL in the lead up to the strikes. He suggested he was talking to an empty chair

As the tube action enters its third day, with continuing rock solid support, RMT has revealed that London Underground's own assessment of the impact of its proposals on passengers raises concerns that the cuts will have a seriously adverse impact on women, older and disabled people and the BAME community,

The revelations come as RMT General Secretary Bob Crow joins a protest by disabled workers against the tube cuts on Thursday 6th February at 2.30pm at Tottenham Court Road tube station.

RMT Leaflet to passengers for use on Picket Lines

Download this leaflet, which has been produced in black and white for local copying.

Many areas will have the "Hands off London transport" public leaflets which should also be used. However, the HOLT leaflet is a general one and does not mention our strike action.

Public support cannot win our dispute alone but our strikes will put more pressure on Boris and our employer if the public understand the real issues and support us.

Please take the leaflets to your picket lines.
