How would that help anything? You'd still have to pay them, and cut the
service if they go on strike.
It doesn't really. But you could pay them less than current drivers. Since
it would be a different less skilled role LU could just hire from outside and
wouldn't be oblidged to take on militant RMT activist former drivers.
Do tube strikes cause an increase in deaths on the road? Would running
the trains unmanned when the drivers are on strike be safer than cutting
the service?
No idea. All I can say is that I personally would not be happy travelling
on a deep level tube train with no staff on board.
