It's not the "Tube bosses" who want to ruin NYE for thousands of
ordinary Londoners.

“Unfortunately Tube bosses have turned their backs on our offer to suspend action in
exchange for suspension of the rosters they intend to impose in February."

So why strike today again?

Whatever impact the RMT's strike will have won't be known
until shift change at 2pm, so lets have some predictions!
I say it will have NO discernable impact whatsoever.
ASLEF T/ops will be on duty. So will the few drivers in RMT.
So will control staff, so will the ever increasing number of
*non-union* station staff.
The odd station may close and as for booking offices - it;s
free travel so they don't need to be open! But just maybe
a branch line may have to be closed, but thats about it.
An example, The Victoria line will run a full service through
the night - as it always has on RMT strikes.
The RMT have got it wrong yet again, and handed a victory
to management.
They claim to have a 5.1 ballot for strike action, but curiously
they won't reveal the exact number of actual returned ballots?
(Update from 1pm BBC news - *only* One Third of ballot
papers returned?)
The RMT membership has seriously twindled, and it can be
assumed the ballot is not representative of the workforce.
The staff do not agree with the strike, it will fail.
The saddest part of this futile industrial action by the RMT
is that I suspect we are seeing a once valid and credible
trade union on it's last legs.
