This week's RMT strike has now been called off.

Next week's strike is still on, however.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6977778.stm

Latest quote from BBC:

RMT general secretary Bob Crow said they now had the assurances, they had
been seeking, in writing from the employer.
However, he warned a 72 hour strike planned for next Monday remained,
pending the outcome of further talks.

"The three days of strike action is on next week," he told BBC News 24.

"Our view the deal we have got is the best possible but if these people from
Transport for London keep on going round and trying to rubbish us then it's
their fault if the strike takes place next week again."

Encouraging eh...

More grandstanding and bluster. All sides need to calm down.

I think Mr Crow might find a picket line from the general public if the
RMT strike next week. He might then find it a tad difficult to get in
and out of his HQ.
