Let's bring this issue back on track. OK so there is misinformation out there
that needs to be knocked on the head and a solution found.

Can't find the solution straight away so a strike is called; fine but why on
31st December? Could you not wait until 1st January or a few days later?

Now, who is being bloodly minded?

1. The Mayor wants the tube to run all night on NYE
2. Part of the 35 hour week deal was that staff would work NYE for NO EXTRA
pay.
3. Last NYE as part the deal they did work for no extra
4. Staff also agreed to 200 ticket office jobs going (natural wastage)
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?

The tube strike is right!
 

The RMT voted on it, accepted it, and their staff are now suffering from
their headlong dash towards accepting it, they didn't explain how the 35
hour week would be implemented and are now reaping the results.

Sorry to anyone who is affected.

What "www.waspies.net" has said is partly true but this highlights what a
load of ****E the LU management are. They promised no staff reductions, 200
ticket jobs lossed and full consultation on rosters.

Now they want 500 job losses and imposed rosters. The management have
reneged on the original deal. They are trying to shaft the best union on the
railways.

Which obviously fails to address exactly why Bob Crow and his puppets
chose to strike on the one day that is guaranteed to alienate the
general public against them. The inescapable conclusion is that Bob &
Co. genuinely believed that LUL would cave in in the face of such a
threat; in other words, they have cynically used the enjoyment of
ordinary Londoners to try to force through something so unreasonable
that they know that a threat to strike on any other day of the year
would not work.

It is notable, of course, that while the RMT claims 4,000 members
amongst LU station staff, only 39% of them participated in the strike
ballot, with 1,327 - i.e. 33% of the total number of members - voting
in favour of it.

Of course, we are given to ask exactly who "zoneonelondon.co.uk" are.
Despite first-glance appearances, this is not a general newsite, and
seems to exist only to regurgitate RMT press releases and other union
activist platitudes. It's no surprise that "external links" are
restricted to the RMT, teh Socialist Workers Party, and - presumably
as a half-hearted attempt to appear balance - the Mayor's Office.

The domain is registered to one "David Knight," who has - perhaps
understandably - chosen not to make any other details publicly
available. He's had the domain since 27/01/02, and yet what is
currently there is all he seems to have done with it in almost three
years.

Your (6) might seem superficially convincing, if only you

at no time in 1-5 did you explain that the deal involved

So, Dave, why don't you correct us?

While you're about it, please feel free to explain why you don't just
resign and get a different job elsewhere if LU are so **** to work for.

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.

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

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.

I'm in two minds about that. I don't see what most station staff do
now, or can do. If you've got kids spraying graffiti they can ask them
to stop and call the police but not much else. They can't actually
touch them. Same with thuggs, what supervisor is going to intervene? At
my local station kids ride up and down on their cycles, skateboards on
the platform and the supervisors look the other way and watch tv
instead. Not cctv but tv. People jump over the barriers, run across
tracks. I've even see people **** against the side of a train as it was
coming into the station!! What if it's one of those little supervisors,
male or female, that look like they need more protection than you do?
All they'll do is watch from the safety of their office. No, much
cheaper just to get a little office with cctv for multiple stations and
if they see anything wrong, call the police.

But, if it's rape or sexual assault i can see how they might have to do
something. Bit difficult if they're miles away in a control room!
