RMT: give free travel to tube cleaners
The RMT has told new Transport for London (TfL) commissioner Andy Byford that he must give cleaners on London’s underground the same free travel pass for which he is eligible.
The union called on him to “put a stop to a shameful injustice by giving London’s heroic underground cleaners the same TfL travel pass that he and the mayor are entitled to”.
The cleaners are denied the pass because they have been outsourced.
