Do they really believe that striking 31st December is going to get the

Of course not, but after many people started saying "It's Christmas, so
where's the tube strike", I guess they had no choice but to move it to
New Year.

I think Mr Crow needs to realise that once a terrorist has chosen to
let off a bomb on a train (or whatever) there's pretty much nothing
anyone is going to do about it, whether you're in a ticket office or
manning barriers. We all know the solution is to stop anyone wanting to
do it, and that's rather beyond the remit of ANY tube workers.

And, as I see it, moving people to the 'front line' does seem like a
good move, if only to give people the perception that they're safer.
Maybe it's the fear that more staff would be at risk from terrorists?

In any case, it's always the same thing. The RMT strike, get what they
want, agree to it, then change their mind in 6-12 months. And as long
as you make statements that mention 'safety' in every other sentence,
you're supposed to be taken seriously. After all, anyone that doesn't
support the strike is obviously asking for another atrocity on the
railway..

I take it you are an RMT member, you must have voted for the deal, it
was presented as a triumph by Bob Crow, Bobby Law et al, it makes very
poor tactical sense to strike on NYE, it alients the public, and makes
all staff look like the biggest bunch of ****s, lets get it on record,
Drivers are not on strike, have not voted on strike action, most will go
into work, (I'm on A/L at the moment), I for one do not support any
strike where I have not had a vote, station staff do not support drivers
strikes so why should I support theirs.

This strike was bound to happen, after the deal was accepted I met a
senior ASLEF official, who said that the RMT hadn't realised the full
implications of the deal, this strike I believe is the result of the
poor negotiations by the RMT, for this wonderful deal done on behalf of
all its members.
