RMT demands urgent action to protect TfL workers from new Covid variant
TRANSPORT union RMT has demanded further safety measures to protect Tube workers from the surge in Covid-19 infections.
At least three Transport for London (TfL) workers have died in recent days as the new variant has swept through the capital.
The union has written to London Mayor Sadiq Khan and London Underground demanding that only staff running an essential service are required to work and that all non-essential engineering work be suspended.
