Must be. What would January be without the threat of a tube strike?!

We are awaiting our pay rise from April 2006, there have been no strike
ballots yet so nothing is imminent, the sticking points are the extra 30

Pay rise? Safety I can understand, but pay rise? How much pay and time do
you think it's going to cost the general public? Was that factored in to
the strike discussion?
