Tube bosses recruit 'scab army' to break strike
Unpaid 'ambassadors' aim to undermine February walkout

Tube bosses trumpeted plans yesterday to unleash a scab army in a bid to break next month's planned London Underground strike.

Rail union RMT has called two 48-hour walkouts on February 4 and 11 while fellow union TSSA is still balloting its members on whether to take joint action.

The unions warn that the ticket office closures will lead to hundreds of job losses and hit the safety of the travelling public.
