Network Rail Maintenance Job Cuts

RMT: August 28, 2009

The union has received reports that Network Rail Maintenance managers have been briefing staff on plans to cut 1,800 jobs by April 2010.

I can inform you that this is the first your union has heard about these plans.

I can also inform you that meetings are taking place between your union and the company next week at which our policy will be that we insist on no compulsory redundancies and that all PT&R agreements are honoured in full.

Further information will be sent out to members after the meetings planned for next week.
