RMT Press Office:
An RMT member working as a Customer Experience Assistant for MTREL has been seriously assaulted in Ilford.
General Secretary Mick Lynch said: “This was a dreadful assault on our member who is now being treated in hospital.
“Our thoughts are with them and their loved ones at this time.
“The law must be fully enforced to apprehend the perpetrators, to bring them to justice and for them to face the full force of law.
“There is absolutely no excuse for railway workers to face harassment, abuse, or assault while on the job.
“A properly staffed railway system deters anti-social behaviour and enhances the safety of both workers and passengers.”
