Redundancies On Network Rail Sussex Route

EDM number 453 in 2009-10, proposed by David Lepper on 14/12/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Railways.

That this House is extremely concerned at the decision of Network Rail to introduce compulsory redundancies amongst rail maintenance workers despite receiving a Government subsidy of £5 billion per annum; notes with dismay that the redundancies will affect most of the rail network, including the loss of 40 jobs on Network Rail's Sussex Route; is appalled that skilled green jobs are being lost when they will be needed to expand and improve the nation's railway; is also alarmed at the safety implication so reducing a workforce who are responsible for ensuring the safe inspection and repair of track, signals and other rail infrastructure; and calls on Network Rail to review immediately its decision.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
