6 months to train plus the recruitment process (and in fact, by your
proposal you will have fired all the trainers too!). I'm not sure
Londoners could stand that long.

Not necessarily. If it was up to me I'd get all LUL staff to sign a non
strike agreement. If they sign it they get a pay rise , if they don't
they
get the sack. Carrot and stick approach. Anyone who breaks the
agreement would be fired on the spot, no negotiation.

Ah but previously you wanted to 'sack 'em all'.

I'm genrally in favour of unions, they're they're to stop exploitation
of
workers which as we know still happens. However , when people start
to use and abuse those powers and generally take the **** then its
time to get heavy handed I'm afraid.

And you don't think your proposals smack of exploitation?

How are you so sure that the action being taken isn't to prevent just
such 'exploitation'? I assume you are party to all the facts in the
cases, and not just those selectively published in the Evening Standard?
