Fourth Tube Strike

The fourth tube strike is scheduled on 28th - 29th November. In the span of 8 months since I started commuting in London, there has been three series of 24-hour strikes: 6 September, 3 October, 2 November; all mostly because of job cuts. Travel chaos is still expected although TfL are putting on extra buses and boats, deploying extra staff and volunteers to give alternative travel options and assist passengers information, and curtailing some roadworks. With three strikes already in place, one wonders if the authorities could save taxpayers cash in unnecessary expenses by dealing directly with RMT and TSSA related issues, instead of investing so much time/effort/money in putting on these 'extra' measures.
