New problem for London: Scared tube drivers
If they refuse to work, system could shut down, union official warns

Hundreds of London Underground drivers could refuse to work if there are more attacks on the rail network, a union official warned on Friday.

Bobby Law, spokesman for the Rail, Maritime and Transport union told Sky news: “We have had drivers that had been refusing to work yesterday because they had concerns about their own safety.

“Hundreds yesterday were saying they were going to refuse work should a situation arise like it did yesterday.”

....

He said the union had written to all its members telling them they had every right to refuse to work if they felt their safety was jeopardized.
