John McDonnell MP: Another World Is Possible (1586 words)

ASLEF has continually expressed its deep concern over the fragmentation of the London Underground by dividing the operations of the trains and stations from the core of the Underground — the track, signalling, bridges, tunnels, lifts escalators, stations and train maintenance.
