Here We Go Again - New Tube Strike Dates Revealed
"Paul" wrote: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-13274783 Well I [thought] Comrade Crow had been quiet for some time. Is it not the case that most drivers belong to ASLEF? If this is the case, how much impact will the strike have, if it goes ahead at all. Strikorama: 16 to 17 May: 2101 BST - 1159 BST 18 to 19 May: 1200 BST - 1159 BST 20 May: 1200 BST - 2100 BST 13 to 14 June: 2101 BST - 1159 BST 15 to 16 June: 1200 BST - 1159 BST 17 June: 1200 BST - 2100 BST (best viewed as fixed width text - well, perhaps best not viewed at all!) So, two rounds of strikes, each starting on a Monday, each 'round' having an impact across five consecutive (working) days, with the striking hours pattern being the same for both 'rounds'. From a 'regular-hours' commuter's point of view the Monday strike should have the least impact, though I'm not sure when services might start winding down. Of course, if the strikes go ahead then LU would do their best to offer what services they can - past experience suggests that this can be rather variable (essentially dependent on how many staff turn up, and so it can change as shifts change). Seems like a bit of a declaration of war on the RMT's part, it must be said. Is that clattering and groaning the sound of umpteen bicycles being retrieved from sheds and basements? |
