Boxing Day Tube Strike - What A Surprise

David B wrote: Tube drivers get roughly the same as other main line train drivers (in London) who incidentally don't have to work boxing day. They were also told that only a skeleton service crewed by volunteers would run in boxing day. Now LUL wants a full Saturday service. And what? Which bit of the word "volunteer" are these numbnuts having a problem with? or (training a driver costs around 100k) or... Shall we just bung a few volunteers with a tube driver and let em take the controls after a few stations? Given how useless drivers seem to be when there's a real problem would anyone notice the difference? And on the automatic lines how hard can it be to press a button. I suspect 90% fail because they're thick, not because the job is hard. I've no doubt there are plenty of east europeans who would work for half the wage and do a better job that the lazy, entitled idiots who do it now. B2003 |
