The RMT and the TSSA unions say it's about safety concerns with regards to new working practices. TfL says it isn't, and seems to imply that the union's supposed safety concerns are something of a trojan horse. At first glance it does appear to be a case of more sabre rattling from the unions. Are LU's plans really "an unacceptable attack on safety standards"? Anyone who's in the loop care to add some informed comments to the discussion? |

The unions using safety as a convenient cover story for their real beef about working hours and pay? Say it aint so! B2003 |

B2003 Which was meant to imply that striking for one need not be a cover for the other, since safety of passengers (and staff) and good pay and conditions for staff are likely to correlate well. |
