A sign for the London Underground seen through the closed shutters at Euston station, central London
TUBE workers’ union RMT hit out at unsafe staffing levels on the London Underground today following reports that waivers to safety regulations are being inappropriately used.
In a letter to London Mayor Sadiq Khan, RMT general secretary Mick Lynch highlighted a series of incidents where stations have had fewer than the required number of staff, or none at all.
He warned that the problems have been caused by de-staffing, particularly the cutting of 600 roles, over which RMT has taken strike action.
