Lots of chatter today claiming that ASLEF members on LUL will withdraw their labour on the day Kate and Wills get wed.
Absolutely disgraceful!
Because it isn't true.
This from ASLEF's website:
ASLEF’s General Secretary Keith Norman said today that the question of possible industrial action on the day of the Royal Wedding has not even been discussed by the union’s executive.
The union’s London officer Steve Grant stressed that no ballot had been held and the union and the management were due to resume negotiations about compensation for all Bank Holiday working by London Underground tube drivers.
‘The story is premature to say the least,’ Keith added
Remember - never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
