BBC report of no January strikes against job cuts is INACCURATE

This morning, the BBC has reported that RMT will not hold strikes against London Underground job cuts during the month of January, and attributes this to a "highly-placed RMT source". This report is wrong. [The BBC has changed its report since it originally publish it, but it is still inaccurate, although less so than previously.]

RMT's position - as agreed by our General Grades Committee last Friday - is that we intend to hold a 48-hour strike in January to put further pressure on London Underground to withdraw its job cuts, and that we seek to take action jointly with the TSSA. RMT has advised the BBC of the inaccuracy of its report.
