ITV News held a survey on their website asking readers whether they supported the RMT tube strike planned for next week. The results on Tuesday evening showed that nearly 7 in 10 'Monday to Friday users' support the 48hr stoppage, and 62% of all tube users support the action. Many people who completed the survey also tweeted their reasons for supporting the strike.
Here are a selection of reasons why people are supporting us:
I support the Tube strike because... The economy won't grow on unemployment. http://t.co/7Ae8tan9jo

I support the Tube strike because I believe in safety of customers, not balancing books.
Lives are at risk with these cuts.
