Detrainment Staff: Sixth Day On Strike
Submitted on 23 January, 2008 - 19:33
On Friday 25th January, detrainment staff on the north end of the Bakerloo line will take their sixth day of strike action against lone working. Their resolve remains solid, and is an example and inspiration to all Tube workers. There has been no scabbing at all, even more impressive when you consider that some of the workers involved are new starters and probationers.

Detrainment Dispute: What Next?
Submitted on 31 October, 2007 - 08:20
Last Friday's strike by Bakerloo line detrainment staff was once again solid. But again, fighting alone - and with managers and RCIs doing their duties - it sadly had little effect.
Detrainment staff remain resolute in their determination to stop management imposing lone working, but are asking: how best to carry on this campaign? Tubeworker suggests that it may be best to integrate it with the campaign over issues arising from the transfer of Silverlink stations to LUL.
