This emergency incident exposes TfL's cavalier attitude to the work of its emergency response unit and exposes once again their willingness to chance their arm on public safety.
It will hit firebrand RMT union boss Bob Crow, who lives in a subsidised council house in London — despite pay and perks of £140,000 per year. And MPs will no longer be able to get cut-price council homes as they earn £65,738 a year. Labour MP Frank... Full Article at The Sun

We can establish something where we say to higher earners, 'Great, carry on living there,' – like Bob Crow, who gets £145,000 from his union – 'but actually, Bob, it would be really helpful if you'd contribute some money so we can build more affordable housing.'

The inexplicable refusal of London Underground to agree to equalise pensions and benefits rights for our maintenance members is deeply suspect and points to a secret plan to re-privatise this work
take on ... It will come as no surprise to Londoners that a week before the mayoral election, Ken Livingstone’s RMT friend Bob Crow is trying to hit hardworking Londoners and businesses.
Network Rail still refuse to take this issue seriously so we have no option but to move to strike action.
We knew Ken was a controversial character. But if even Bob Crow is worried about being associated with him, things must be getting serious.
This dispute is about justice and about ensuring that all groups of staff under the umbrella of London Underground receive the same rights and benefits and our members have no choice but to strike to secure those basic rights.
This dispute is about justice and about ensuring that all groups of staff under the umbrella of London Underground receive the same rights and benefits.
It is our members who will be held responsible if things go wrong - and we have advised them not to be pressed into rushing familiarisation or to sign competence certificates if they have any doubts
We would be failing both our members and the travelling public if we agreed to working practices outside of existing agreements and procedures that we know are inherently unsafe. This dispute will now be put back in front of the RMT executive which will consider our next move.
We don't know if there has been political interference from behind the scenes. But attempting to impose a whole raft of new strings on the agreement at this stage smacks of an attempt from somewhere to sabotage these talks.

If all the leaks and spin are to be believed this rotten Government of the wealthy elite is planning to hand out tax cuts for the rich while presiding over attacks on transport and the wider public services that would reduce them to rubble
Clearly this was a major incident which could have had serious repercussions and rather than the attempt to sweep it under the carpet there should be a full Health and Safety Executive investigation into the structural failure that caused this tunnel collapse to ensure that lessons are learnt and it doe...
We were told 20 years ago that if we accepted EU policies and the euro, working people would benefit from full employment, legal rights and decent public services
These shocking figures show that this Tory-led government have no shame when it comes to smashing up communities and wrecking lives in the name of bailing out the bankers economic crisis.
This whole command paper could have been written by the private train operators who want longer franchises and the right to jack up fares and to seize control of infrastructure so that they can continue to rack up billions of pounds of profits and dividends while charging the highest fares in Europe to ...
Clearly moving from offering nothing to the latest offer of £850 is a massive shift on the part of London Underground (LU). It will now be considered by our reps and executive before we make a formal response.
We have said from the outset that McNulty is the biggest threat since privatisation a generation ago and will be met by a national campaign of resistance.
It cannot be right that those who presided over a culture of cuts to staffing and essential work are rewarded with a knighthood on the same day that the company has been forced to plead guilty to major health and safety failures.
This, combined with the total collapse of the automated system on the Jubilee line two weeks ago show graphically the potentially lethal consequences of this ill-conceived and politically driven plan
RMT reiterates our stance that all grades of transport employees are entitled to a decent financial reward for their efforts transporting huge numbers of passengers during the Olympics and are entitled to take leave during the summer. Working conditions and important agreements should not and need not b...
