Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor David Drew (Labour and Co-operative Party), on Monday, 14 December 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 28 members in total.
NETWORK RAIL REDUNDANCIES ON MIDLAND MAINLINE
That this House is extremely concerned at the decision of Network Rail to introduce massive compulsory redundancies amongst rail maintenance workers despite receiving Government subsidy of ??5 billion per annum; notes with dismay that these redundancies will affect most of the rail network, including the loss of over 50 jobs on Network Rail's Midland Mainline 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 implications of 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.
