which says, amongst other things "LU called the strikes "premature" as
there were talks scheduled for Friday".
While I'm normally a harsh critic of the RMT, LU are being silly here.
The union is required to give at least 7 days notice of strike action,
how awful of them to give more notice than is required.
That's your interpretation of premature? Surely what LU mean is that
there are still meetings scheduled to resolve the issue(s) and an
escalation to strike action is therefore an unnecessary premature and
provocative action, rather than just the date give for the strikes.
