Dear Colleagues

 

NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION

3^RD ANNIVERSARY OF RMT OPPOSITION TO DOO ON SOUTHERN

 

Friday 26th April marks the third anniversary of this Union’s opposition to the extension of DOO.

 

A national demonstration is being arranged on that day, in London, to recognise the fact that we will continue to fight to retain a second safety critical person on the train as well as achieving a safer accessible railway for all.

 

RMT members from across the country will be gathering outside Keolis UK, Evergreen Building North, 160 Euston Road, London NW1, at 12.00 on Friday 26^th April  in a show of solidarity with our brothers and sisters at Southern and to reiterate our total opposition to DOO.

 

As you will be aware, Keolis owns 35% of Govia, and is itself 70% owned by the French state railway.

 

I hope to see you there.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

Mick Cash

General Secretary
