You've been emailing us with your views on the industrial action:

The strike does not affect me as I am a motorbike user, it does however cause serious issues for others such as those unable to afford private transport, school children using trains to get to their place of education etc and of course the extra strain on buses and the extra congestion that will be caused for 12 million people in London, not to mention the problems the emergency services will encounter in the early evening. Have you ever been down Oxford Street on the evening of a train/tube strike? I would rather chew my own feet off than have to be involved in that type of kafuffle.

I think it is unacceptable for these people to vent their anger and frustration on millions of people who don’t care about their concerns. At the end of the day, the work these people carry out is unskilled (driver-press ‘stop’ button, press ‘door open’ button, press ‘door close’ button, press ‘go’ button, station attendant- be incredibly rude to everyone, be extremely unhelpful, go for a tea break, repeat pattern from start) and, from what we read about, overpaid. I find it difficult to believe in these days of modernity we are still being held to ransom by 1970s style militancy.

To summarise, sack them all!

The problem lies with Bob Crow and the fools in charge. If they explained why they are striking, they might have some publiic sympathy when they have legitimate concerns that are worth striking over, such as Health and Safety
etc.

However if they had half a brain between them they would have the initiative to look beyond their noses, at how other people do things. Was
it last year the workers for an overland train company (I believe it was in the North) worked a full service and simply didn't collect fairs. This could be even harder hitting, by giving a day's refund (or more) to the season ticket holders when they buy their next months pass. If there is a problem with something, they should start to penalise the people with the purse strings, rather than the traveling public who are held to ransome by the
RMT.

I work on a station. we are constantly reminded how good our pay is. if it is that good, why is there a recruitment problem? Well, if you like constant verbal and physical abuse, getting up at 3am, being spat on because of the crumbling infrastructure which we have no control over then you are welcome to my job. I believe passionately in customer service, but if the signals are broken, the tracks cracked, the train
broken down, then it doesn't matter how much we try.

If people just say 'don't they get paid enough' if it's that good, why don't they apply for a job and see how they like it.

I never questions the benefits that the right to strike has brought us, especially during the last century. However,my firm belief is that anyunions
right to strike was intended to allow workers to hurt the profits of the company they're working for. I doubt it was ever meant to allow them to take entire city of more than 8 million people as an effective hostage to their whim. If they want to strike, why not refuse to sell and check tickets? That way, their company is still hurt quite a bit and they would stand a chance of having the public on their side.

At the very least, with core services, strikes should be announced a lot further in advance. Over two months ago I bought tickets to fly to Prague this Wednesday evening. Now I have to set a whole day aside just to get to Stansted airport. It's is really annoying, because normally I just cycle; but I can't this Wednesday.

I imagine that the tube workers claim unsociable working hours and high stress factors allow them to have extra demands. Do they realise that there are not that many people in London who's job isn't stressful? And as far as unsociabloe working hours go, how about doctors, nurses, policemen, firefighters, bus drivers, waiters, cooks and who knows who else? Has anyone ever heard of a doctor on strike? By the way most people in London probably dream about 35 hour working weeks..

David Siska

I think it is an absolute joke that it is suggested that we go to work "outside the rush hour if possible". How many people can do that? The rush hour is already about three hours long, so to travel outside of that is difficult. Also, you would think that Ken Livingstone would allow Londoners a day off from the Congestion Charge so that they can at least get to work. To suggest walking is ridiculous, because most people live at least 10 miles from their place of work. And buses only help those who live in the more central parts of London anyway. You can't get a bus from Ickenham in Middx into central london!!

Andrew Barker

I'd booked a course in Central London for Wednesday. I can lose money or walk 2-3 miles. A plague on both RMT and LU, causing me pain to make a point to each other I find personal and abusive.

I think commuters should work to rule with all staff who may be involved. No abuse - just demand to see id cards, demand to see proper authority or the appropriate section in the terms and conditions.

John

It will not affect me because I am working at home. But I am serious against this selfish strike. This is a hijack; kidnap 3,000,000 innocent people to ask money. RMT union, you can do any legal action to tribunal with the employer, but you don’t have rights to hijack people. This action will damage the public interest more seriously than terrorists can do.

As a Londoner I ask:

RMT union to call off strike and back to negotiation table

Metropolitan police action to arrest RMT union members according to anti terrorist law, if strike happens

Parliament bill: ban strikes for the public service

Amy set up and training a special force, in case of emergency to take place important public service such as airport, railway, fire bridge, ambulance, etc.

Barry

My partner works at one of the busiest tube stations in the centre of London. He works very unsocial hours, we live in the same house but I can go for 2 weeks at a time and not see him due to the shift patterns he has. He has to deal with drunks, drug addicts, beggars, personal abuse and threats, not to mention the occasional(!) disgruntled passenger. The frontline staff on London Underground do not get the support they deserve and need from the management. If the only way to get the resources for the frontline staff is to strike (as is their democratic right), then so be it. And in case anyone is wondering how I will be getting to work from Tottenham to Southwark on Wednesday, I will be taking the bus and walking a bit further than usual.

Caroline E. Old

If there is a strike, I won't be able to go to work. I'm a temp so that means I will lose a day's pay. I'm sure I am not the only person who will be out of pocket as a result of these people who earn more than twice as much as I do.
Strikes that affect other people's livelihood should be illegal. Either that or we should be able to claim lost income from the union or the government. I'm lucky I will be able to pay the bills, the railmen should think of the people who will not.

Laura

Doesn't it seem selfish for a tube strike to be called during public examinations. I'm taking my A-Levels this year and am fortunate enough to live within walking distance of school, but many of my friends aren't so lucky and may find getting into school near to impossible in the event of a strike. These exams are potentially life changing so couldn't the rmt find another time to strike?

Arabella Waller, City of London

This is yet another problem caused by the PPP process.
Now instead of one set of negotiations with one employer there are
three sets, one with LU, one with Metronet and one with Tubelines. As far as I am aware this is a breakdown between Metronet and the RMT
(the other unions have also rejected the offer though they did not have
a mandate for strike action).
I will be (as usual) cycling into work.
Joe

Will people just stop belly aching. The right to strike is something without which the workers of this country would not have obtained many of the benefits and basic Health and Safety requirements. Yes it's a nuisance but just get on with it and deal with it. I'm getting up early and getting the bus.

Steve (City Worker)
Enfield

As a result of this strike I have to rearrange an important induction course for a group of our new recruits. This costs my company money, prevents our delegates starting work when our contract clients require them to and greatly affects our whole recruitment process. Our course is for people who want to work, who want a job with us. In my experience if you don't like a job you get a different one. And when your job has the sort of pay package and benefits deal that the RMT union members have it makes me feel angry and frustrated at their selfish, money grabbing attitude. Unions are meant to protect people from unfair working conditions and oppresive management not make a cushy job even cushier.

Peter Miller

The drivers are among the highest paid staff considering they require no formal training to become train drivers. Our travel cost of tickets are the highest in Europe. Yet we are still being subject to more strikes.
The trains are usually late anyway. Will we notice the difference?

Suzie

I will be travelling from Ealing Broadway on the day of the strike. Is there any alternative way to Aldgate East St. excluding travel by car, bike or walk!

Please can you inform me of any possible solutions to this dilemma that the RMT have created. I am sure if their friends or family were affected by the situation being created that they would think twice about striking. Whilst reading one of the displayed emails with regards to examinations and travelling, I felt that it was very unfair for students to be caught up in amidst of issues between the government and transport services. Having completed my A levels and now at university; I am aware of how much preparation goes into studying for final exams, it takes time, effort and dedication - all of which should never be intervened by a situation which we have noticed becoming common amongst out society.

Whether it be firemen or train drivers, there is always a grievance to be displayed with the outcome being far worse for those in the middle of the argument - the general public.

Sunny Bhanot

Perhaps someone ought to introduce the concept of Customer Service to these workers, preferably with a blunt instrument. We, the commuters, are clients and expect a certain service to be provided for the money we outlay. Every day we face delays and uncertainty of service on the trains, and now they want to take it a step further by actually refusing to work. Fire the lot of them, and get new recruits who are actually prepared to work.

Paul Quayle

I agree with Steve. It's a nuisance, but not the end of the world.

The Train Operating Companies have a track record of being concerned only about their profits not about their customers, Health & Safety, comfort, convenience, or anything else. If the Unions don't keep them in line - and Government seems disinterested in doing it - we'd all end up cattle trucks
- or worse - with untrained, inexperienced drivers, unsafe signalling systems and no management response to any problem whatsoever.

You see it everyday. Plenty of staff protecting their revenue - few managing crowd control, safe platform / train interfaces, etc., etc.

As for those who are only concerned about their own journey into their own place of work ... that's exactly how the TOCs get away with it - they're banking (literally) on the fact that the commuters won't do anything collectively about anything.
Pat (East London worker)

I am appalled yet again to find that we are held to ransom by Bob Crow and his cronies. The Underground drivers have some of the best pay and benefits in the country, not withstanding the free travel that they and their families so readily enjoy. This alone is a small fortune they DON'T have to pay.

I have to take a day's annual leave to avoid the stress of trying to get in from West London, which without the Tube or Rail network is near enough impossible. I don't think Mr Crow would lose a day's sleep over this matter, let alone a day's annual leave.
Teresa

Why not sack them? There are plenty of people who'd do a sit-down job for 35 hours a week for the pay the drivers get. I agree that the fat cats do get extortionate pay rises, but the impact of the strike does not affect the people who call the shots, just those of us who are trying to earn a living. I wonder how many office workers will be forced to lose a day's holiday which is not of their choice?

Mel Jackson Bridge

Red Ken has to oppose the tube strike, otherwise we might remind him that he did a deal with the drivers which was supposed to include a no-strike clause. Of course he got stitched up just as we Londoners have been. The deal was only partly with money in his control too, but then Ken has always been good at spending other people's money. The shame is that the drivers are now so well paid they can afford to strike more and lose a few days pay. None of this really affects the strike. We are out of the cup, the drivers don't want time off anymore to watch the game. They will cancel the action. Ken will then paint it as a victory for himself being so strong with the union. What's really behind this is that the drivers are overpaid and lazy.

Simon, in Finchley

I live about 35 miles from my place of work, so none of people's suggestions for alternative travel arrangements are very helpful. Too far to walk or cycle, no chance of getting a bus, and I don't have use of a car. Get a job nearer home, I hear you cry! I'd love to - if only there were any. And I'd still be relying on public transport.
