The latest headline from the Morning Star.

RMT has threatened industrial action if jobs are cut after the failure of the public-private partnership (PPP) on London Underground.
All Tube maintenance and upgrade work will be brought back in-house after it all ground to a halt.

To quote RMT general secretary Bob Crow, he described the collapse of PPP as a sign "on a massive scale" that transport privatisation does not work, and also that the union is set to ballot its members unless assurances are made on the jobs and conditions of the 3,000 Tube Lines employees.

3000 employees.... losh this cant be good. I wonder if there is a way it can all be salvaged. That's a lot of
engineering jobs that we cant afford to lose.

Yes but if thwy get rid of them who will do the work? I think the majority should be safe here dont you?

Its not like its the kind of thing people can do easily is it?

from wot i can see, if they cant get them all transferred thats wot were looking at. 3000 more at the unemployment line.
