Tube Strike – What Tube Strike?

The London Underground strike this week caused chaos for millions of commuters in the capital. People struggled to work on bikes, on foot, in replacement buses, and on Thames boat services. While they queued, many businesses lost hours of productivity. Some, however, were more fortunate; for them it was just a normal working week. Teleworkers logged in from home as usual, avoided the rain and the crush, and gave their organisations an undiminished level of service. When the politicians reflect on the lessons to be learned from this, perhaps ways of getting getting work to people, rather than people to work, should be at the top of their list.
