Oh, 4,000 staff went on strike did they?

If that number went on strike and most of the system remained open,
clearly there is gross overstaffing anyway.


"democratic, legal strike"

Indeed, which is presumably why many exercised their democratic right
to carry on working.

Marc.

A few scabs, ASLEF drivers who weren't balloted, TSSA members who live of
the backs of the RMT and some RMT drivers who weren't in the dipute. The
rest were unqualified and unlicensed office staff and managers.

Most staff (the 4000) who were balloted walked out of their own free will
because they know that the company is after shafting them.

Would that be the 1,568 who actually took part in the ballot, or the
2400 who didn't?
