Balance on 2007 strike
I added the balance tag to the 2007 strike section. I think it is important to include views from all sides. Currently there is no information about the RMT position on the strike. Both the BBC and the RMT have information that should be incorporated.--Bookandcoffee 00:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Without wishing to predict the future, I imagine we're about to see a similar level of activity. What is most important is that we treat TfL and the RMT with equal weighting. A statement/opinion/claim made by one should be counterbalanced by the relevant statement/opinion/claim of the other. But if all the independant, reliable sources say one thing, we shouldn't automatically ignore this fact in the name of balance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.13.161.114 (talk) 06:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

"widely regarded as one of the more radical trade unions in Great Britain"
Hi there, am I right in saying this sentence in the summary of the article shouldn't be there without citation? 82.28.207.187 (talk) 15:09, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Affiliations - Pro Russia paragraph
I've just revised slightly the third paragraph regarding the union's supposed pro-Russian allyship. One of the references is currently broken and a small amount of effort to fix it has come up to nothing, and I can't help but feel the whole section presents a highly non-neutral perspective backed up with possibly non-neutral sources. I've left it up since I don't feel strongly that it should come down, only that the section be improved and properly referenced and presented more neutrally - e.g. that the union response is included. eeveeman (talk) 22:38, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't see the relevance of the paragraph, as it stands, as it's discussing views of some members of the union - admittedly two are prominent ones - not the position of the union itself. I see there's an article on Eddie Dempsey which doesn't currently discuss his position on Russia and Ukraine, but a summary would be more appropriate there.

 * Agree - I'm going to be bold and remove it, but if anyone really disagrees then they can revert and come here. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 06:23, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Glad such a simple resolution has been arrived at. Agree with the stance and action taken. eeveeman (talk) 11:45, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Who are its members?
The article needs to clarify what Rail, Maritime and Transport occupations are covered by the different unions. E.g., drivers are more likely to join ASLEF. I don't know enough detail to contribute. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 14:43, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
