“I am appalled that London Underground are refusing to reinstate Arwyn Thomas and Eamonn Lynch, when the Employment Tribunal has already ruled that their dismissal was discriminatory because of their trade union activities. It is vital that we stand up for our local trade union reps who are in the frontline of protecting workers interests and I fully support the RMT’s political and industrial campaign for justice for Arwyn and Eamonn.”
Jeremy Corbyn MP, Islington North

“The Mayor of London and London Underground management are presiding over the victimisation of trade union representatives, deteriorating industrial relations and a climate of fear which will inevitably impact on the service received by passengers. It is essential that workers are free to act as trade union representatives without fear and I urge London Underground to immediately reinstate Arwyn and Eamonn.”
John McDonnell MP, Hayes and Harlington
