How about they try good ol' diplomacy? Instead, they act selfishly, and
screw over the public. Repeatedly. Am I the only person who finds this
disgusting?

I'm all for unions. I've seen how they can get workers the rewards they
deserve. I've also seen how they get greedy and take more. I'd hate to
think the RMT is the second type, but with more and more industrial action
threats flying about, it's getting harder to think otherwise.

Oh dear poor Boltar...you have a stutter.

Actually its neither of those. Life isnt quite so simple as an A or B
response.
I think the press release puts it quite succinctly.
Plainly the signallers and control centre people see it one way and LU see
it another. I am sure some discussion will see it all blow over and it
will all be a big misunderstanding.
Perhaps the LU management and staff are much more in touch with good
industrial relations and negotiation than you think.

Cant wait for your response.......

LUL signal and control staff to ballot after talks fail - 6 Dec 2004

DECEMBER 6: LONDON UNDERGROUND's biggest union is to ballot more than
330
signallers and line controllers for strike action after six months of

negotiations failed to resolve a four-year dispute over pay rates,
pay
structures, hours and conditions.

Oh what a surprise , its almost christmas and theres a possible strike
on
the underground.

Given the amount of strikes on the underground recently this leads
to 2 conclusions:

A) LU is one of the worst blue collar employers in the country and the
staff
are living a wretched existense despite the high pay rates and easy
hours or

B) The people who work for it are some of the most greedy, work shy,
selfish
and bone idle ******* in britain who are about as much in touch with
workplace
reality as Timothy Leary on a bad trip.
So lets have a survey. Why is it all you LU people? A or B?
