    • Piccadilly Line: Vote YES to support Zak Khan

    Submitted by plectrum on 20 January, 2009 - 22:53

    Arnos Grove train operator, Zak Khan, was summarily dismissed at a Company Disciplinary Interview held on 16th January. His sacking was grossly unjust; it is also the latest attempt by an increasingly militant management to create a climate of fear in our workplace. We need to put a stop to this - it's time for action.

    Read about how the company stitched up Zak and about the fight for justice - and Zak's reinstatement - in the attached newsletter.

    Memorial Gardens at Upminster Depot

    Submitted by andy izard on 16 January, 2009 - 20:01

    Recently Upminster train operators had a collection to pay for a rememberance garden in memory of past drivers from the depot. This is situated at the rear of the new building set amongst the flower beds and cleverly landscaped area. Old disused sleepers have brass plaques displaying names of various past well thought of drivers, that are sadly not with us anymore.
