Correction regarding the ballot:
Over 50% of ballot papers returned not a third. The strike will succeed and
the RMT will be proved right

Regarding NYE working:
Yes the tube workers have already fulfilled part of the agreement by working
last NYE for no extra but they have not yet started working 35 hours. This
past year TW have worked a 37.5 hour week. Now the company wants more than
agreed. NO JOB LOSSES WAS PROMISED BY MANAGEMENT.

5. Now the Mayor, LU bosses and the Government want to axe 500 jobs
6. Would you still work NYE for NO EXtra if your boss reneged on a deal?

Your (6) might seem superficially convincing, if only you
hadn't already explained that the staff get a 35hr week
(partly) as a result of working NYE for no extra. Also,
at no time in 1-5 did you explain that the deal involved
no job losses.

Where you think facts are wrong, it would be better for you to
identify them - and justify your objections - rather than simply
hoping that a catch-all blanket suggestion will somehow add weight to
your morally-barren arguments.

Happy Revolutionary New Year

What revolution would this be? Where overpaid dickheads only
have to work 35 hours a week? Live must be sooooo hard for
you all. If you lot were actually employable anywhere else
(and most people know you're not , which is why you never
leave despite constantly moaning about your conditions)
you'd realise what a cushy number you were on with 37.5
hours which most of us can only dream of.

Incidentaly , your actions as you know will have seriously ****ed
off a lot of the travelling public , so don't be surprised if even
more of your members get assaulted from now on. Congratulations.

I'm not too familiar about all this. The press are saying that the RMT
are striking over safety but you are saying the strike is over a fear
of job losses?

I think well done to the tube for bringing in Oyster cards so the
ticket offices can be outsourced to India where people want to work...
If only platform staff could be outsourced

I s'pose it's possible he is a different David Knight to the CND one - who
isn't, according to CND's website, their current chair anyway.

Everyone's job can be outsourced. Yours, mine, everyone's. But, the
long term goal must be to automate along the lines of New York. It
appears to be coming full-circle. I remember when I was a kid there
were many stations unmanned with one person responsible for a number of
them.

I feel a certain amount of 'safety' at a Tube station, knowing it is staffed
and monitored, particularly at night. Not about terrorism or any of that
guff, but about day-to-day unpleasant thuggery and so on.
