The article details the ongoing dispute between the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union and Transport for London (TfL) management regarding driverless trains on the London Underground. The dispute centers on safety concerns and potential job losses associated with the introduction of driverless technology.
The author argues that the RMT leadership, specifically General Secretary Mick Lynch and Assistant General Secretary John Leach, are betraying the union’s members by engaging in secret negotiations that could lead to a detrimental compromise. The article claims that Lynch and Leach are prioritizing maintaining their positions within the union bureaucracy over the genuine interests of the rank-and-file workers.
The author highlights a previous agreement, the “Pathway to Modernisation” deal, which they view as a sell-out that paved the way for increased automation and job cuts. They suggest that the current closed-door talks are likely to result in a similar outcome, undermining the union’s initial stance against driverless trains. The article criticizes the union officials for fostering illusions that a mutually beneficial compromise can be achieved with TfL management.
