While we're at it, have any further strike dates been announced? I couldn't immediately find any info on the web. There are no further dates - there is a "gap" until the New Year as the unions decided not to go on strike. Whether out of "goodwill" or the expectation that the workers wouldn't come out due to the expense of Christmas looming is not for me to say. Or else just a bit of breathing space during which they hope TPTB will capitulate? (Or, more to the point, both sides will reach some sort of solution.) The only possible actions relate to localised issues on the Bakerloo and Northern Lines where RMT are, I believe, going to ballot their members over alleged victimisation of certain individuals. With no ballot result there can't be any dates yet. That's from what I read in the Standard the other day. The other rumbling issue relates to Boxing Day payments and that involves ASLEF. *Again no dates and things seem to have gone a little quiet on that front in terms of newspaper coverage. To which my first reaction was 'no dates' - well the 26th, Boxing Day, is a pertinent date - but yes IKWYM, no dates have been announced w.r.t. a ballot on this issue. Incidentally concerning something which appears to have been oft-said already, I don't think for a moment that the unions would call a Tube strike on The Hallowed Day Of The Royal Wedding - I think my eyes and ears are likely to go on selective strike that week though! |
