Default Strike Action

£22,000 starting salary? 4 day week? 32 Hours? Surely you RMT lads are
having a laugh aren't you?

What makes you think you deserve that? (No doubt you'll quote something
along the lines of 'Well-everyone USED to get that').

As you are all probably aware a ballot for strike action on london
underground is currently under way and the rankin file opinion is a
landslide in favour of industrial action.
The first strike date will be june 10th unless 'sir Ken' pulls his finger
out.
The management are proposing cuts of 960 plus jobs to fund any sort of

pay
increase and to give us our 35 hour week,these are front line jobs in the
ticket office ,station staff and supervisors,not the over staffed 55
broadway and other top management jobs.
Our claim is simply £22.000 starting salary for C.S.A,32 hour 4 day week

to
be implimented over a number of years ,35 hour parity with train ops now.
Equalisation of pension rights,return of priv rate travel as per pre
national rail privatisation.
Roll on June 10th
