Well how would have guards have prevented it happening. Part of the
reason they want guards is to have less work for drivers, they know
they are not going to getting them so at the end of the day they will
want a bigger pay rise for drivers because of 'increased risks'. I bet
if extra money for drivers was offered the guards campaign would soon
go on.

I find it sad that the recent bombings are being used as the latest
excuse to start another dispute

I don't think 33k per annum is exacty 'mean fisted'.

As Marc says, more police, fewer train staff....

Do you want to have the responsibility of a train plus a thousand
passengers for only 33k after overtime and before stoppages? Indeed why
should public service worker work longer hours just to supplement their
wage? If you don't like the heat get out of the kitchen. All bus and
tube drivers should resign, then see how the capital copes without them.

If you think 33k is a low wage then I think you need to think again. There
are many people in London earning much less. Also most of use don't have to
think about our pay "before stoppages" as we don't feel the need to walk out
of jobs on a regular basis.

Perhaps if more people were willing to walk out they might have better pay
and conditions?

If I walked out, I'd get fired.

Can you imagine the reaction he would get with that attitude if he
rolled up at A&E having had an accident.

33k isn't a low wage. However, how many people could survive on 33k in
London? Is it the Tube's staff's fault that they get paid a wage that
reflects what you actually need to earn to live in London? Shouldn't we be
saying to every other company, 'stop ****ing us over and give us terms and
conditions that befit the 21st century' or should just say 'you earn more
than me so we should reduce your terms and conditions'? We all know nurses,
police, LFB etc SHOULD be paid more, but isn't that down to the unions to
fight for it? Isn't right that their employers should be paying the right
and proper wages in the first place?
