Piccadilly line strike
 

Anyone know what excuse the trained chimps are using this week for the strike?
It was about doors, now apparently its about management practices. Or is it
about the price of coffee in the canteen or just for an extra day off work over
the bank holiday?

RMT confirms strike dates after overwhelming vote on Piccadilly Line
over comprehensive breakdown in industrial relations.
[...]
The ballot for action was called after a prolonged period of industrial
problems on the line – some of which have been directly related to
serious underlying issues with the aging Piccadilly Line fleet. Those
issues have left drivers in a vulnerable position and have been used by
management as a tool to harass and threaten members through misuse of
the disciplinary procedure. There has also been an appalling lack of
consistency by local management when it comes to addressing the
long-running issues impacting on the Piccadilly Line and which RMT, as
the main driver’s union, has raised repeatedly over a number of years.

At least they're consistent with their lies. Wonder what the real reason is.
Probably didn't get some deal they were hoping for. Still, one can only
hope that one day some of these ****s gets their teeth knocked out by some
passenger who's had his plans ****ed up once to often.

You're so big and clever aren't you, with all your tough words and sad
attempt at menace.

In what way are the drivers in a vulnerable position? Are they afraid
that angry passengers are going to break into their cab and assault
them?

So hoping for a particular outcome between two unspecified 3rd parties is being
menacing is it? What a sheltered upbringing you must have had.

My brother in law is a Piccadilly Line driver. How about you post your

LOL :) So "eastender" is your real name and is your real email
address is it? Irony, much? :)

FWIW last time the ****s decided it would be a good idea to picket outside
Arnos Grove with theit union banners they got a mouthful from me. And half a
dozen other people. They don't do it anymore. Strange that.

Oh, and my real name is out there for anyone who can be arsed to look hard
enough.

I was surprised at how much disruption the Piccadilly Line strike caused. Thursday has been very busy all night everywhere.

Sorry, its too late to add caveats. You said cowards don't post their real
names. Ergo you're a coward.

As for the RMT - they've gone beyond being a union, they're a politically
motivated blackmail group and need to be brought to heal or shut down
altogether.

I wonder if it is actually over plans to introduce the NT4L, thus
negating the need for drivers.

Does a similar plan exist for the Bakerloo?

Yes, and the Central and the Drain. The Bakerloo 72TS is even more
knackered than the 73TS.

Yes, I was recently on a 72TS. You could hear the gears whining.

BTW, I noticed on the escalators at Piccadilly Circus that the "Stand on
the Right" and "Hold the Handrail" signs were on electronic displays,
rather than the simple blue signs. Why did they do that and what else
could those electronic signs display?

A follow-on to Holborn for a trial of standing only on escalators in peak
hours?

Well, it's Easter Day, so in the spirit of Christian charity, I'll summarise the discussion so far and analyse the argument:

eastender to Spud: "How about you post your real name in your posts. But cowards never do."

Spud to eastender: "You said cowards don't post their real names. Ergo you're a coward."

Me to Spud: "That is not actually a logical conclusion but hey, ho...."

Let us assume that Spud's initial assertion is correct, and that "cowards don't post their real names". Let us further assume that "eastender" is not the real name of the entity posting as "eastender". Does it therefore follow that eastender is a coward?

To answer that question we must consider whether the group of posters who don't use their real names is solely composed of cowards, or whether it could include both cowards and heroic, fearless, laugh-in-the-face-of-danger types. There is no evidence in the thread so far to justify exclusion of the heroic types. The only valid conclusion is that eastender /might/ be a coward or /might/ be a hero. It cannot follow that eastender /must/ be a coward..

But do please have a go at proving me wrong. Bear in mind that you may thereafter need to prove that your own name really is Spud....
