What deep insight you provide us with Boltar!


What deep arguments the unions come up with for striking.

"We don't wanna work boxing day this year, pay us more or we strike"

There needs to be a change in the law. If you refuse to work as per your
contract then you're dismissed immediately. End of. Any anyone who strikes
in support of someone who is dismissed because of this not only loses their
job but are fined 50% of all their collateral and savings including their house.

Indeed. Regarding the proposed strikes on the Bakerloo and Northern
lines this weekend, only a minority of those eligible to vote voted in
favour of the strike, but Comrade Crow still went ahead and called the
strike.

If the strike does go ahead, I wonder what those drivers will actually
do during the day. I hope none require any hospital treatment. Imagine
what would happen if the doctor in A&E refused to work unless they
were paid triple time plus a day off in lieu.

London Underground is (alledgedly) an organisation.that provides a
service to the public. It might help if the drivers recognised this
just once in a while.
