Bob Crow, leader of the RMT transport union, said: "The shambolic handling of the West Coast franchise has not only left 800 of our members' jobs hanging by a thread
Bob Crow has managed to ignore First's answer on employment levels when they stated they would be broadly flat.:roll:
Yeah, strange how he's gone from "FIrst will cut eight hundred jobs and slash catering" to "800 jobs are hanging by a thread"... no, they're not Bob.
The winning bidder promised to maintain employment levels whilst introducing additional trains, running new services to new destinations and paying more premium to the Government - the only way any jobs are "hanging by a thread" would be if the Government were cowardly enough to delay the signing of the document (in which case those on fixed term contracts would be in an awkward position).
Really though, yet more scaremongering from Crow - doesn't matter how pathetic he sounds as long as he gets his name in the papers...
