ABOUT 600 maintenance workers, all of them over 60, will shortly be retired from London Transport. Most of them are already oast the normal retirement age of 65, and they will be compulsorily retired, and the rest will be made up of volunteers for retirement.
This means that the L.T.E.'s maintenance strength will be cut by about 10 per cent. Men with 15 years' service behind them will get 26 weeks' nay, and this will scale downwards to 14 weeks' pay for men with seven years' service.
The cut in staff has been worked out by London Transport in consultation with the Transport and General Workers' Union.
