And what's the betting that the demands resolve, as they usually do, into more money? |

'Recliner[_3_ Wrote: ;149283']http://tinyurl.com/nf6grll I heard that all LU workers were on strike, not just the train drivers. How much do the other members of staff earn? Perhaps you didn't actually read the linked article? It said, "Tube drivers are also much better paid than some of their other colleagues who'll be joining them on strike. Station staff get around £30,000, according to TfI, with others closer to £20,000, while supervisors earn around £40,000 - still markedly less than what tube drivers get." |

LU won't understaff the stations because they know damn sure people will probably just jump over the barriers if they think no one is watching. And what's the betting that the demands resolve, as they usually do, into more money? Guaranteed. -- Spud |
