It won't happen I bet.

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?
