The Mayor is the chair of Transport for London. At Mayor's Questions in July, he smugly promised that Metronet cleaners would receive a living wage by August. Not only did this not happen until two months later (and then patchily), but even while he was announcing it, racist immigration laws were being used to clamp down on union activists and members.

Andy, a track worker at Metronet has been a rep for over 12 years. He is known for his complete dedication to the health, safety and welfare of all workers; Metronet employees and agency staff alike. He was instrumental in the RMT's recent successful campaigns in September last year which stopped management from devaluing Metronet staff's pensions by 10% and halted mass job cuts, and in April this year opened up the Transport for London pension scheme, free travel on TfL and subsidised travel on Network Rail to new starters, all previously denied to them by Metronet. | ||
