The union says...
29 May 2009Leader Bob Crow accuses management of “threatening to tear up an agreement aimed at safeguarding jobs”, and is demanding a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies.
Mayor Boris Johnson has ordered 1,000 jobs to go at LU and hundreds more at TfL to help cut spending by £2.4 billion over the coming decade.
The union claims job losses could reach 3,000 — a figure also revealed to the Standard by senior TfL sources.
It says LU has refused to budge from an “unacceptable five-year pay offer which gives no real-term increase for four years and which could even see pay cut”.
The union also alleges bullying and intimidation of its members by LU management.
