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.


I agree totally with all that.

And for what it's worth, I went in and did a full duty tonight until 0400.
I notice that most of the stations were open too so that's not had much
effect.


You're one of the many, less vocal LUL workers who actually do their job
correctly Again, thanks for caring about the public!
