Default RMT sabre rattling again?

In message .com,

Theres a report in Metro (page 25) that the RMT - aka Bob Crow Inc -
is considing a strike ballot on the tube over pensions. Looks like
they've found a new topic to whinge about after they've flogged the
drivers pay and conditions argument to death.

Yep, eventually public sympathy will go, the next Tory govt (sadly there
will be one) will turn the Underground into about 8 or 9 private
companies and the RMT will become all but dead !!

The sad thing is that Unions don't learn from the past. Where are the
other great Unions ? What happened to the NUM ? They all became
dinosaurs pushing for silly claims and conditions, still thinking it was
1900, not 2000 and they became extinct.

Not that Crow cares. I bet he's on the best money he's ever earned in
his life and he can look forward to a seat in the house of Lords. What
can his members hope for ??
