As you are all probably aware a ballot for strike action on london

Oh jolly good - I'm sure you will enjoy inflicting misery on Londoners.

Oh and it's "rank and file" by the way.

The first strike date will be june 10th unless 'sir Ken' pulls his finger
out.

How to win friends and influence people (not).

The management are proposing cuts of 960 plus jobs to fund any sort of pay
increase and to give us our 35 hour week,these are front line jobs in the
ticket office ,station staff and supervisors,not the over staffed 55
broadway and other top management jobs.

Are we excluded from your sweeping statement if we don't work at 55
Broadway?

Our claim is simply £22.000 starting salary for C.S.A,32 hour 4 day week to
be implimented over a number of years ,35 hour parity with train ops now.
Equalisation of pension rights,return of priv rate travel as per pre
national rail privatisation.
Roll on June 10th

And you think you will get your deal if Steve Norris wins instead of
Ken? And if Ken wins you think you will? Dream on - you really have no
concept of what being part of TfL actually means, do you?
