  • Dunno about that. He thinks industrial action is unnecessary at this stage and has said he would prefer talks. I haven't followed the progress of this dispute, but have other non-strike actions been worn out on whatever the issue is?

  • The strikes are about ticket office closures.

    "The ticket offices were closed as part of the Fit for the Future programme introduced by former London mayor Boris Johnson.
    His successor Sadiq Khan has ordered a review of the project."

    Staff are getting more abuse from the public because there is no-one to buy a ticket from if the machines break. Sadiq should definitely reverse the closures if he can, but I'm worried he's spent the money on all night tube services. He managed to get the first strikes called off through negotiations, but the current strikes sadly prove he's worse than Thatcher.
