And he's happy about that? How mean spirited.

If it's not going to cause any problems in the slightest why would the RMT even pick that day? I'd at least credit Mr Lynch and his members with knowing what impact their action may have.

this is about one manager and has apparently been going on for years. It looks as if TfL aren't sufficiently bothered to do anything about it.

Mick Lynch isn't worried about his members. He's a union dinosaur of the type that brought this country to its knees in the 70's.

I am going to cross London on that day but luckily i am not using those stations. I just hope the walk out does not spread to other stations.

Hopkirk, if I'd suffered years of bullying by a boss and management ignored my protests, I'd be only too happy to have my union back me up.

So its been going on for years this bullying and then they decide to hold a strike on Jubilee day. And its all because of this bullying?

Yeah right, pull the other one its got bells on it.

[naomi24]

Haha! Ding ding! ;o)

[jno]

of course they're going to hold a strike when it has the most effect, why would they do otherwise? You know better than to be that naive, ymb.

Well there wouldn't be much point having a strike on a day when no-one noticed, other than getting a day off work of course.

Good for them! Solidarity, brothers and sisters.

[tonyav]

Well ( going back to my 70's days, ahhh yes happy days until 79 ) what would be be the point of a strike if it didn't count. Right on bros.

[naomi24]

Mean spirited.

If only Maggie were still in charge. She knew how to deal with the unions.
