RMT is leafleting the public throughout this week over the victimisation and discrimination of health and safety rep Eamonn Lynch

Bakerloo Line drivers are striking this Saturday, 15 January, because London Underground (LU) has unfairly and unlawfully sacked our workmate.

HOW LONG TIL SOMEONE DIES? That's the question we're asking now that management have ignored our safety concerns over the sensitive edge technology used on the new 09 stock. For more details, please download a copy of this leaflet by clicking on the attachment below.

From Bob Crow, General Secretary:

I write to advise branches that brother Ravi Sooriah has been dismissed by LUL following an incident of wrong side opening. It is our firm belief that he is being victimised and has been very harshly treated by management. Following a resolution from his branch the General Secretary has decided to ballot all train grade members at West Ruislip for strike action and industrial action short of a strike. Preparations for the ballot are currently taking place and I shall keep branches advised of any further developments.
