Union good guy: Anyone who realises they're in a public service industry
and should be serving the public, not disrupting them.

Now if only the RMT members would see sense!

I detect yet more TDriver bashing going on . I recall similar threads

before
on here. What IS the matter with you people. Against some organisation
standing up for their members well being are we? Of course its very
unfortunate that YOU happen to be the travelling public and therefore

suffer
on strike days and of course when YOU look at your own personal salary

start
moaning that the the Drivers get too much pay and all that usual bleating
like the chimes of Big Ben. OK so we ditch Union representation altogether
shall we and rely totally on the kindness of human resources Company
management to look after our well being while we work for them and they
award, themselves and only themselres, bigger pay rises into the bargain,
which you know they will do. Shall we then see how the pay and conditions
deteriorate shall we. Is that acceptable to you lot then. Will you be

happy
then? Well I tell you it is simply not going to happen without a fight.

DA mode
I reckon all unions should be done away with in all public services and that
"management" should be allowed to impose whatever pay and conditions they
like upon the rest of the workforce.
/DA mode

What would then happen eventually is that most of the decent people would
say "sod this" and vote with their feet and they would have difficulty
recruiting.

The management of the day would then be criticised for failing to provide a
decent service and would "seek new opportunities" to be replaced by sensible
people who realise that if you want to provide a decent service you have to
have decent people and they have to be treated decently.

Fanciful? A touch probably, but the principle is sound and has happened in
the past

Of course, notice could be taken of all the jealeous .prats who complain
that train drivers and others get paid too much so that pay gets cut. The
people affected leave, and no service.

Then listen to the same people bleat 'cause they can't get to their highly
paid city jobs.
