Solidarity with striking Tube workers

27th October 2010

Calling all trade unionists! Threat to London Underground Jobs
Join our Day of Action - Friday 29th October 2010

Tory Mayor Boris Johnson is threatening to axe 2,000 jobs at London Underground. Tube workers are clear that this will damage the service afforded to passengers and undermine safety. This Friday (29th October) RMT and TSSA will hold a mass distribution of leaflets across the Tube network explaining why we are fighting to protect this vital public service and we would be very pleased if other trade unionists could join us in a show of solidarity.
We would like to invite you to join our members at 8am leafleting outside the following stations on Friday 29th October 2010:

*Earl’s Court
*Finsbury Park
*Kings Cross
*Liverpool Street
*Manor House
*Oxford Circus
*Victoria
Download the RMT and TSSA’s briefing on the dispute, which demonstrates the widespread concerns of Londoners.

It is clear that the actions of the Tory Mayor are a foretaste of the coalition Government’s austerity cuts where essential public services are not protected. Our Unions have formed a broad coalition with pensioner groups and transport campaigners as well as other unions to fight these proposals.

Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely,

Bob Crow, RMT General Secretary
Gerry Doherty, TSSA General Secretary
