After months of trying to stop these attacks it has become clear that the only path left open to us is to ballot our entire tube membership for industrial action, and we have given London Underground notice to that effect.
We have been seeking talks with London Underground over the safety issues at the heart of the current dispute and we welcome the opportunity to meet the company at ACAS tomorrow.
London Underground's point-blank refusal to accept our compromise offer means that strike action remains on for 24 hours over New Year's Eve and over Jan. 8-9.
