What defines whether an LU worker is in RMT or ASLEF?

ASLEF normally only cater for drivers, whereas RMT seem to cater all
grades. TSSA are more white collar type(?) grades such as ticket office
staff.

I don't know if ASLEF actually block membership from other grades, and
indeed many staff still retain their original union when going into other
grades - such as driver to DMT. Whether they would get any useful
representation is another matter.
