Just to prove it's not just Taxi drivers that think TfL aren't fit to administer their trade, TfL's own staff, members of trade unions, will be withdrawing their labour tomorrow.
This is the statement put out by the three unions, Unite, TSSA and RMT informing there members of the industrial action for Friday 9th May 2014
Colleagues
Tomorrow (Friday), there will be pickets at each building hub which are; Windsor House, Pier Walk and Palestra.
Pickets are to get together by 7am at each building that is nearest or easiest for you to get to from your home.
There is a branch meeting tonight Thursday, held at Palestra to commence at 5pm on the 8th floor in the London Bridge Room 8GC1, where there will be banners, armbands, placards unite vests and leaflets.
If staff plan to attend a picket, they can pick up most of the stuff tonight and take it with them to the building of their choice. We need all hands on deck so the more that volunteer to go on the picket line the better the turnout of support for the strike. Everyone will be welcome to attend the branch meeting tonight so please turn up in your droves.
If there are too many pickets at the hub buildings they will be asked to picket TfL buildings nearby. Officers from the RMT, Unite and TSSA will be at sites to assist.
This strike is a joint action taken by Unite, TSSA and the RMT and is official and legal. You are under no obligation whatsoever to inform your manager that you are taking action to withdraw your labour. You will be required however to inform your employer that you have taken action following your return to work.
If you require further information please log onto tflunionstogether.org
My last piece of advice is please consider this action as helping you as your company are presently not cooperating and listening and hence there was no other alternative than to take strike action and action short of a strike. We did not take having to make this decision lightly and used it as a last resort as have all the other unions.
if you choose to use the Tube or buses whilst on strike, please do not use your staff pass and use the transport network as a normal paying passenger.
Yours in Solidarity
Following the pickets which should last no later than 11am there will be a gathering of pickets at Windsor House as this is known as the headquarters of TfL.

Wonder if high priced hooker Rachel Grundy was told she couldn't use her Oyster Cards after grassing up Sir Peter Hendy to the Sun?
Sir Peter hendy has a unite union card,will he be withdrawing his Labour?
Hendy in UNITE, that's truly ironic.
Hendy, Hedges and Kelly, what a combo.
Terrific quote from the TSSA:
As usual TfL have approached the issue with the usual mix of arrogance and incompetence'
And so say all of us, except one of course.
