I see the RMT has picked another earth-shattering issue for this week's
political strike:
"The dispute centres around plans to transfer eight train operators
between Central line depots."


Are Cash & Co trying to drive their members out of work by gaining such a
reputation for bloody-mindedness?


Its very reminiscent of Leyland back in the 70s. There needs to be a change
in the law to make the railway a special service (or whatever the term is) so
that strikes are outlawed and if there are any wildcat strikes then the
perpetrators can be sacked on the spot.
