Can't see that going down too well.
I'm 100% behind the strike, but we should be clear that the target is not the Tyne and Wear Metro system. Also secondary strike action is outlawed in the UK, so if they were asked to do it, and it's within the remit of their job description or a reasonable request, they'd have little choice unfortunately.
