LUL / TfL staff have some of the best pay and conditions around, and a lot of this was because of work by the various unions.
The power of the threat of strike is enough, RMT's threats to strike resulted in a revised offer from LUL management, and RMT and LUL were in ACAS talks to come to an agreeement.
The RMT refused to suspend strike action whilst the ACAS talks went on, which is just pathetic.
I've no issue with unionisation and pushing for better benefits, but when demands are as unrealistic as the RMT's it's a different story.
