AFAIK Unite has called off the strike, but two other unions haven't.

Called off by all of the unions for this week's action. New dates in
early September when everyone's back at work and school and just
before when the Night Tube is due to start. Clearly a "keep the
pressure on" tactic.


Yep... but thinking short term, it makes this week rather easier.

Don't think there's a great deal of sympathy out there.

That sounds like the week starting 7th September - which is when
Parliament returns. Lots of unhappy MPs in the offing.

It's also the week when the Labour leadership and mayoral candidate
elections conclude. I wonder if the strike would influence the results?
It would certainly allow Comrade Corbyn to demonstrate his solidarity with
the downtrodden Tube workers, and embarrass the other candidates, who
wouldn't want to either support or condemn the strike.

Labour members and supporters are voting from now onwards though.

Oh dear. Mick Cash's workers revolution seems to be coming apart at the seems.
Shame.

Is that it? Did you forget the rest of your post or is typo spotting the
