How many more times does this need saying. This whole Royal Wedding strike is an urban myth. Now even Ed Miliband is running with the story, saying “I am appalled at the idea of strikes to stop people going to the royal wedding”

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
