Its just a warm up for the olympics.

PS. I bet Mr Crow is disappointed that ASLEF have got their tube
strike threat in first ahead of him.

If I was a cynic I'd say that Aslef and the RMT are now a tag team. Behind the
scenes they agree on what they don't like and are now taking it in turns to
call the strikes so neither one of them gets too much heat from the media..
Presumably Bob Crowe got a bit fed up being the pantomime villain on TV all
the time.

The dress rehearsal for the Olympics will presumably be the Queen's
Diamond Jubilee celebrations at the beginning of June 2012.

Mr Crow has already stuck his oar in with a proposal for a no strike
deal during the Olypmics.

If the unions in Sydney can get away with an extra AU$4.00 per hour,
