Formal review into the RMT union

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The RMT are causing strikes, without even balloting staff, over new roles on Southern which are perfectly safe & approved safe by rail regulator. We are calling the Government to launch a formal review into the RMT to why they are destroying everything in and around the Southern network.
