Check your history books and you will find plenty of strikes where they were not voted for but went ahead anyway-Miners strike being the most famous.
Recent teachers strike again only a monrity voted for it but it went ahead anyway.


I would not disagree as a customer but the figures don't back that up.

So i wonder what happened to horse and cart manufactures then? should we have banned the motor car as they probably lost their jobs
Bet I could come up with loads of jobs which are no longer here.

Typical union member statement! Bet these people were thankful when they gained employment.
Now you want to bite the hand that feeds you

Thats what the right wing gutter press keep banging on about
We should be thankful to have a job and not even think about going on strike

Well Les in the real world where company owners award themselves with bumper pay rises and share options its only right that the worker on the shop floor should get something

You seem to think that workers should be seen and not heard

This Union attitude still amazes me

Did these members apply for jobs or did their various industries coming begging cap in hand for them to come and work for them

Did they sign a contract saying they'd have a job for life and a 4% above inflation pay rise every year

Do they all know what the management are doing wrong and how their industry could be run much more efficiently

Workers applied for these jobs because they had good terms and conditions and thats what they are fighting for now
What did you expect them to do = say oh great my jobs going next year

Its ok for the Fat cats to laugh all the way to the bank

TFL transport boss Peter Hendy made £652,000 last year

Ahhhh, I think I can see where the animosity is coming from now, because the poor tube driver are only on a £52,000 basic

Especially the bit about him starting off as a graduate trainee and then working his way up the ladder

Not sure he's the sort of Character who should be in charge of Londons Transport.

You have hit a sore point with "graduate trainees"

We get this idiots employed at my place and most of them dont have a clue
Because these clowns have been on some "wonder" degree course it makes it ok for them fresh out of university to be put it charge of people who have been doing the same job for years

Any decent company promotes from within with people who have worked up through the ranks
Not wet behind the ear ignorant x graduates

Peter hendy's salary is obscene and offensive to any traveling passenger
