AROUND 170 safety reps will attend the annual RMT health and safety conference in York on February 21 and 22.
The conference takes place against a backdrop of Network Rail, London Underground and the train operating companies wanting to push through a jobs cull as they seek to take advantage of the Covid crisis to deliver a devastating short-term cuts agenda on rail on behalf of a government that wants to slash £2.5 billion from the industry.
RMT has been at the forefront of the current wave of industrial action, in taking 19 days of strike action to oppose these attacks — with more industrial action scheduled for March.
