Protest at Mayor's Question Time - Stop Job Cuts!

Join RMT in protesting outside Mayor's Question Time at London's City Hall (nearest station: London Bridge, map here). We will be handing in the thousands of postcards that Londoners have filled in demanding that cuts to station staffing be withdrawn.

We want lots of protestors to join us, in order to crank up the pressure on the Mayor, to get positive media coverage, and to maintain the momentum of our campaign.

RMT's London Transport Regional Council is out demonstrating with students and others today against government plans to charge exhobitant tuition fees and cut funding to further and higher education.
