Defend Glen Hart
Stop the victimisation of RMT rep/activist Glen Hart by London Underground
The RMT are demonstrating against the unfair victimisation of Glen Hart who has been targeted solely because he is a RMT activist and he loses a station during last years OT ban because he had no relief.
LUL have since tried to discipline Glen with unfounded and untrue allegations.
LUL found no charge at the first CDI - immediately they produced another set of equally flimsy charges.
This time Glen is accused of being " horrible" to a manager
RMT's London Transport Regional Organiser John Leach has written to London Underground to reiterate the unions demand that plans to cut hundreds of front line jobs be ditched following the recent violent attack at Leytonstone station.
Leytonstone station which was the scene of Saturdays horrific knife attack, will lose half its rush hour staff from February under proposed new rosters. The Leytonstone cuts are part of an overall package from early next year which would strip 838 front-line, uniformed station staff out of the tube system.
