A recent article by Andrew Gilligan in the Evening Standard reveals some interesting facts about how much TfL/LUL bosses spend on themselves.
Below you can read a question-and-answer briefing produced by London Underground management about their 'Organisational Change Process'.
RMT would like to point out that:
In recent meetings with London Underground over the proposed 1,000 job cuts, it has become apparent that management is not carrying out meaningful consultation.
London Underground is trying to force through job cuts, which amount to the first stage in plans by TfL to cut its budget by £2.5 billion. TfL inherited a debt worth over £2 billion from failed privateer Metronet. Instead of cutting our senior managers’ inflated salaries, getting rid of parasitical private contractors and opening the books to public scrutiny, TfL/LUL are attempting to do away with thousands of jobs.

RMT is deeply concerned at LUL’s announcement that they intend to get rid of 970 jobs. They are claiming that these cuts will not impact on the service and that these positions are all backroom jobs.

In these difficult times with the government intent on giving all our money to the next failed banker who turns up at 11 Downing Street with a begging bowl, it is hardly surprising that a publicly owned organisation like LUL will be looking to save a few quid. But how to go about trimming the fat? Maybe Tim O’Toole and his henchmen could take an axe to their lavish salaries? Perhaps LUL could manage without some of the tens of thousands of DSMs they employ to do nothing?
