GLA Member for Merton and Wandsworth, Mr Richard Tracey AM, has launched a petition in order to reform public transport strike laws in order to protect hard-working people.
As Mr Tracey's petition notes, "Since 2005, London has seen more than 30 tube strikes with reasons including calls for a shorter working week and triple pay on Boxing Day."
However, "Research shows that one day of tube strikes costs the City's economy around £48 million".
Mr Tracey, through the petition is looking to replace "public transport strikes with mediation" which will "protect workers' rights, while making sure hard-working people do not suffer from travel chaos and loss of pay."
Hard-working people of London deserve better and deserve to be able to get to work everyday - if you agree sign Mr Tracey's petition here: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/58230

Let's make sure hard-working Londoners are always able to get to work using public transport!
