Tubeworker 9/4/09: Huge Yes Vote - But Anti-Union Laws Stop Strikes

Submitted by Tubeworker on 9 April, 2009 - 1:56

The new issue of Tubeworker reports on the massive vote by RMT members for industrial action over jobs, pay and bullying, but also the fact that the union is re-balloting because of legal threats from LUL. It argues that the union should have consulted members before the decision to re-ballot, and that workers must now prepare to take unofficial action in the event of further legal moves.

Tubeworker also reports on the forthcoming Victoria line drivers' strike, plus various workplace issues.
