🚨 #TubeStrike shuts London Underground

Over 10,000 @RMTunion members have today shut London Underground in a strike over pensions, job cuts and attacks on working conditions. 🧵

The job losses planned will affect every aspect of the tube including stations and maintenance, leading to the likelihood of more unstaffed stations and a lowering of safety standards.

General Secretary Mick Lynch said:
"Attacks on pensions, conditions and job losses will not be tolerated and the travelling public needs to understand that understaffed and unstaffed stations are unsafe."

🚨 Train company pandemic profits top £300 million and set to reach £400 million by September:

@RMTunion

Private Train Operating Companies at the heart of the long-running rail dispute have made more than £300 million in profits since the government put them on new contracts when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, @RMTunion research reveals.
issuu.com/rmtunion/docs/…

While rail workers have had their pay frozen in the same period, DfT data shows that the private train operators made £310 million in taxpayer-funded profits between March 2020 and September 2022. By September this year, that figure will be in excess of £400 million.

@AndyBurnhamGM

Mick Lynch has today written to all MPs with Avanti operating in their constituency and to Metro mayors @AndyBurnhamGM and @MetroMayorSteve Rotheram with a briefing on @AvantiWestCoast and its misleading claims. 🧵

@RMTunion

.@RMTunion is calling on them to write to @Mark_J_Harper demanding that @AvantiWestCoast be stripped of its franchise.

@AvantiWestCoast

Recently, @AvantiWestCoast told Parliament “We had no problem at all before July” – But this is untrue. The ORR data shows they had a growing problem across 2022, predating July.
