Why is London Underground sponsoring a complaint made by the owner of this offensive avatar that adorns the twitter account of the ludicrously named "busting4aslash"? Mr. Slash is a troll. Mr. Slash has
an offensive avatar, that depicts what would be, if done in real life, a criminal offence, for sure.

Johnson steps up the ante - Piccadilly line to be "driver free" by 2016
Ticket offices actually account for 20% of tickets sold, not 3% as Cameron and LUL want us to believe
Tubelines staff at Northfields DT to be balloted
Cleaners to ballot over fingerprinting issue
This is the queue at Kings Cross on Sat Feb 22
Not sure where it starts - but an average wait was reported to be over 15 minutes
How can we treat our customers so shabbily?
And what should we do to rectify?
Open more ticket office windows, don't close them all would be the appropriate answer if the customer experience was really the driving force behind LUL modernisation plans
Not a politically driven dogma to reduce staff cuts by 30%
The RMT principal on voluntary severance is pretty clear; we are against it as we don’t believe it’s our job to sell. That was the reason we fought so hard for the job for life deal
Not only does selling our jobs make life more difficult for those left behind as they struggle to cope with ever increasing workloads, it also does not make economic sense.
The measly amounts LUL are looking to give to staff wanting to go under this flawed VS system do not stack up.
Think about it. £30,000 lump sum? Got another job that pays same/similar to LUL- lucky you
I am sure you are all aware that Mark was the victim of police and judicial provocation that is a threat to the human, civil and trade union rights of every worker in Britain.
Mark was arrested and held for 13 hours by police for exercising his right to be on a picket line at Hammersmith during the strike by RMT and TSSA members in the current dispute against LUL/TfL's planned service and job cuts.
The strikes were suspended earlier this week as a result of discussion and agreement at ACAS
The details are pretty much well known and will involve the Trade Unions sitting down with LUL and openly and honestly assessing the impact of ticket office closures, amongst other things, at every station across the combine
Rhetoric from LUL CEO and the mayor in the last 2 days show how little these people think of meaningful consultation
Brown states any ticket offices remaining open would be the exception rather than the rule
Fantastic support from all our members
A magnificent effort by all RMT members in supporting the action over the last 2 days
Despite the lies and half-truths pedalled by LUL management and the anti -trade union media we have shown that with solidarity and unity our stance is absolutely the right one.
We stood firm and had a massive impact on services.
Mike Brown lied on BBC news when he said the RMT had not turned up for talks at ACAS with LUL in the lead up to the strikes. He suggested he was talking to an empty chair
Mad dogs and GSMs -don’t work Sundays
The OT ban is having a big impact on stations across the combine. LUL are struggling to keep stations open and are running at minimum numbers almost all day, every day
The effort our members are putting in is hugely appreciated and causing managers big headaches.
Local managers,under pressure from on high,are trying to interpret the framework agreement in a way that they say we have to move our shift, rest days or start finish times to help them out
The irony of their request for our goodwill assistance is lost on them.
