You have got to admire the RMT Union, bringing the Tube to a close on New Years Eve. At least it shows one union in this Country has some Power.

I can see the commitee meeting now-
"Right Comrades - who wants to work on New Years Eve?
_Nobody?
_ I suggest we call a strike then - then none of us will have to work.
_ Agreed - all out!"

I'm not over familiar with the tube but it doesnt run late on nye anyway does it? I noticed last time i was london someone was sponsoring public transport so it would be free on nye. They are going to be happy i'm sure!

These strikes have a habit of being sorted out before time anyway - its just posturing isnt it really?

I've never understood the reasoning behing these transport strikes. The workers' gripe is with the management, not the passengers (who are the people who indirectly pay their wages). Why do they not operate a normal service but refuse to collect fares?
