MEDIA RELEASE: RMT “DINOSAURS” MUST BE DEFEATED
18 April 2008
Reacting to the latest strike threat on London Underground, the Keep London Moving campaign has labelled the RMT union as “dinosaurs” and called on the next mayor to end the union’s stranglehold on the capital’s transport infrastructure.
Shane Frith, a spokesman for Keep London Moving, said;
“It is tragic to see 1970s-style industrial strife threatening London’s vital transport network in the 21st Century. A future mayor must follow the example of Margaret Thatcher’s defeat of the coalminers or President Reagan’s sacking of air traffic controllers. Only by careful planning and strong action can these dinosaurs be defeated. The citizens of London must not be held to ransom by extreme left-wing trade unionists.”

Notes to editors:
The Keep London Moving campaign is organized by classical liberal think tank, Progressive Vision. It seeks to recruit volunteers who would be willing to assist in keeping the London Underground system functional in the event of a strike. Its website can be found at www.keeplondonmoving.org
