RMT takes protest over McNulty rail
carve up right to his doorstep at major rail industry conference
June 24
RAIL UNION RMT has called a demonstration outside Liverpool�s
BT Conference Centre at 08.30 AM on Tuesday 28th June 2011 when Sir
Roy McNulty - the architect of the Governments Rail Review
carve-up - will be
addressing a major railway industry conference
He wants to slash jobs across the grades, impose pay freezes and
reduce safety. Specifically he is calling for: -
-
More dangerous
fragmentation, divvying up tracks and signalling among private
operators creating a whole series of mini Railtracks.
-
Lower safety
standards and fewer inspections.
-
Ghost stations:
McNulty wants to leave � stations without ticket offices.
-
No Guards on ANY
trains.
-
Massive fare
increases.
RMT General Secretary Bob Crow said
�The McNulty report is a recipe for disaster that will make staff,
passengers and the environment pay for the mess rail privatisation
created. That�s why we are taking this protest right to his doorstep
to make the case for public ownership - the solution to fragmentation
and profiteering that Mr McNulty has totally ignored��
