SCABS

It’s an emotive word and one which used in the workplace has even led to disciplinary action. Nevertheless, it is an important part of the lexicon of picketers and very effective when used properly!

So what are “scabs” and what motivates them?

The truth about the tube dispute

There has been a tidal wave of media coverage of the 48 hour strike on TfL and LUL. Although that coverage is a reflection of just how successful the RMT action has been, it has also led to some incredible exaggeration, blatant political interference and in some cases sheer, barefaced lies.

The “Big Lie”

Why I Went On Strike

James Wong-McSweeney explains in The London Paper why he went on strike...

Having read the columns by Rachel Large and Kay Taylor, neither of whom supported the Tube strike, I thought you’d all like to hear from someone who did. I’m a member of the RMT and have been since I joined London Underground two-and-a-half years ago. You might think that the RMT is always on strike but we’re not – in fact, this was my first strike since I joined. I did it willingly and of my own free will. Nobody made me do it, let alone Bob Crow, whom I’ve never met.

Message from an RMT Member

Brothers and Sisters,

I was proud to stand with you on the picket lines across London over the past two days. Our demands were clear and concise and fair. Despite the misleading Tory press headlines and Boris's propaganda from outside the dispute and the constant stream of misinformation from LUL, we stood strong. As well as all this we had not only individuals but the leadership of another union breaking the strike.
