Default Tube strike 31st Dec

As this strike has had so little effect on the operation of LU, then
the policy of moving staff from ticket offices is certainly the right
one. Perhaps, with this evidence of a failure of a strike action to
bring the network to a halt, LU should take it further. Redeploy staff
from ticket offices as planned, followed by issuing redundancy notices
to any others left over. It is quite clear that LU ticket offices are
overstaffed as the union have helpfully pointed out by failing to bring
the system to a standstill. The savings can be passed onto the
travelling public by way of fare reductions.
