supportive posts.

RMT walked out of talks.

RMT has not walked out of any talkson this dispute. RMT has initiated, attended,and thoroughly participated in talks.

RMT hopes that followingour hard-hitting strike, LUL

management will now listen toour case and back down from their

assault on jobs, pay, conditionsand service standards. Any

progress will be welcome. Butthis dispute can not be settled

while the company still plans tocut nearly 1,000 jobs, close allticket offices and threaten jobs

in other grades.

The Trades Union Congress supports our strikes. General SecretaryFrances O’Grady said: ‘Closing all London Underground ticket officesand cutting 1,000 tube staff will have a hugely detrimental impact onboth regular passengers and tourists. The public want ticket officesto be manned by dedicated staff. Without them journeys will bemore difficult, and groups such as disabled passengers or womentravelling at night will feel less secure. Responsibility for thisdispute lies squarely with the Mayor of London, who has broken hismanifesto promise to keep ticket offices open.’
