I dont think youve been listening Boltar. He doesnt get any extra money and
he doesnt get any extra days off either. The extra days are for Station
Staff. They dont drive trains, they stay on stations.

So? It'll be the drivers turn again soon though I think the signalmen are
due for a walkout , they haven't done it for a while.

Oh and I almost forgot, therapy sessions are available should they feel the
need for them. Free.

What a surprise. Poor sausages , life must be tough.


I think you'll find Government employees have had more strike days than the
tube boys and girls.

"Government employees"? Thats a nice catch all. Takes in the entire civil
service & NHS staff. Only about a million people. Nice try. Please produce
figures showing specific government agencies and strike days of their staff.

If hes right and he gets T+1/3, a lot of them only get T+1/4. My personal
opinion on that is whoever accepted such a small premium should be severley
reprimanded. (I think it was....gasp....Bob Crowe).

My personal opinion is that people like you and the bone idle tube staff
are going to have a nasty dose of reality kick you up the backside one day
when some future government calls their bluff and fires the lot of them.
The miners, dockers, electricity workers and others all thought they were
vital and hence invulnerable and look what happened to them when they pushed
their luck too far. I do so hope I'm there to see it when it happens to
Bob Crowe or his successors and his cronies.
