This strike is completely unjustified and unacceptable. It will hit hardworking people across the capital and cause serious disruption for businesses.

This action is supported by just 30 per cent of the RMT’s membership- and what is more it is a strike about an issue where no one is going to be forced out of a job.

Ed Miliband must condemn the RMT without reservation for their proposed action – this is especially important given that they sit on the board of Labour’s new bank.
