It has now come to the attention of the RMT that your jobs are about to be savagely slashed by the Senior Management! Yes the Senior Managers you supported by helping to keep stations open and trains running during strike action by the other grades and some in your own grade.
While these Senior Managers plan how to spend their bonus’s you can plan for your unemployment.
