Thats unlikely because it would be illegal. FUD from a union, who'd have thought it. The ASLEF press release at http://www.aslef.org.uk/information/...trike_action_o _tube/ reads slightly differently: "ASLEF members on London Underground have voted overwhelmingly for strike action in a dispute over the company’s decision to try to force through, without negotiation, new rosters which would mean Tube drivers will have to work an unlimited number of weekend and night shifts for no extra pay." Well if that is true - and I doubt it - the job contract apparently allows it so tough. They should have read the small print before they signed. If they didn't like the terms of employement they can always go elsewhere and I'm sure some east europeans will be only too happy to do the job. -- Spud |
