I think its written into the RMT constitution that they have to have
at least 1 strike a year on the tube. If it wasn't this they'd
probably be walking out over the colour of the bog rolls.

Heh!

Is there a strike rota for different professions? Drivers one year,
signalmen the next , now track workers? Perhaps theres a requirement
that they all have to practice industrial action once every few years
just to keep the old memories alive.

Of course - it's just the same as maintaining route knowledge.
