A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL SECRETARY
Dear Colleague,
Here are some useful facts. Below is the actual number of trains run (bold) on all lines during the strike against the total each line would normally run.
On a normal day 522 trains are run across the combine. Taken as a percentage, and at mid peak times (0900 and 1800) the best 'service' they ran amounted to 28% on Thursday (0900). However, take away the Northern and Jubilee Lines the best 'service' they could run across the combine was 17% for Wednesday and 19% for Thursday.
Here is a selection of passenger opinion put together by ITV which gives a more balanced view than some of the rest of the media ...
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!

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.

Meeting in the upstairs room of The Redan Pub, Queensway, W2 (just past Whiteley's on the corner of Westbourne Grove)
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.
