EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ON LONDON UNDERGROUND

Early day motion 1281, tabled 17 April 2013 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 19 members.

That this House notes that employees of the Trainpeople Agency on London Underground, who worked in a variety of customer service roles, including station assistance, gateline, supervisory and ticket office posts, were made unemployed when Trainpeople's contract with London Underground Ltd (LUL) was terminated without warning; condemns LUL for failing in its legal and moral obligation to offer the tube workers permanent employment; and calls on the Mayor of London to intervene to ensure that the rights to continued employment of the Trainpeople staff are upheld.
