Default Piccadilly line strike

Anyone know what excuse the trained chimps are using this week for the strike?
It was about doors, now apparently its about management practices. Or is it
about the price of coffee in the canteen or just for an extra day off work over
the bank holiday?

RMT confirms strike dates after overwhelming vote on Piccadilly Line
over comprehensive breakdown in industrial relations.

the disciplinary procedure. There has also been an appalling lack of
consistency by local management when it comes to addressing the
long-running issues impacting on the Piccadilly Line and which RMT, as

At least they're consistent with their lies. Wonder what the real reason is.
Probably didn't get some deal they were hoping for. Still, one can only
hope that one day some of these ****s gets their teeth knocked out by some
passenger who's had his plans ****ed up once to often.

In what way are the drivers in a vulnerable position? Are they afraid
that angry passengers are going to break into their cab and assault
them?
