Victory to the tube workers!

According to the BBC, even the Tube bosses have been forced to admit that today's Tube strike has had a major impact, reporting that "all lines were affected and some had no service". The RMT and London Underground spent yesterday at ACAS, but no deal could be done, so the strike is on.

Since the BBC quote extensively from the CBI, some shadowy quango called 'London First' and basically everyone in London apart from any tube workers, I don't think I'll be relying on them for news of the dispute. Instead, I'll keep my eye on the excellent website of RMT's London Regional Council which is a bit more 'ear to the ground'. Apparently LUL management are misrepresenting the issues in the dispute. Surely not!

Messages of support to the strikers can be sent via the website, and any trade unionist, any worker who has ever been bullied by a manager, underpaid or threatened with dismissal for ill health should give the dispute their full support. A victory for tube workers would be a victory for public service workers everywhere.
