London Assembly candidates speak out in support of the tube maintenance workers strike
Tuesday, 24 April 2012
As a 72 hour strike by underground maintenance workers got under way Trade
Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) (1) candidates for the London Assembly
on 3 May spoke out in support of the strikers:
Nick Wrack, No.2 on the TUSC list said:
"I support the strike action by RMT members that begins today. It is
important that the unions defend the rights and living standards of their
members. The bosses want to pick off different sections of the workforce one by
one. If they are allowed to do this, it will get worse for everyone. The unions
are a line in the sand to prevent the erosion of living standards for all. This
government and the bosses want us all to see our wages, conditions and pensions
driven to the lowest level. I commend the RMT for refusing to allow this to
happen. They are taking a stand that will benefit all Londoners."
Candidate on the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition list
Steve Hedley, London regional organiser, Rail, Maritime and Transport workers
union said:
“I support the strike because the employers are seeking to reduce costs by
denying pensions and passes to staff. This is so the planned reprivatisation of
Tubelines will be of minimal cost to the next privateer who wishes to pillage
our industry.”
