I hear, from the radio news, that Bob Crow doesn't think the police and
security services are doing enough to protect Tube drivers in wake of the recent terrorist attacks. The newsreader hinted that Mr. Crow wants guards on Tube trains, and that he is prepared to ballot for strike action if he doesn't get what he wants. Hmm. |

I see from the Metro that they will ballot for a strike if they don't
get what they want. I bet that when the guards were eliminated the drivers got extra pay for the added responsibility. I bet that they wont give that up. I wonder what Ken and Tim now think of his brave drivers, not so proud of them now I bet. |

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.... Rob. -- rob at robertwoolley dot co dot uk |

Rob. -- rob at robertwoolley dot co dot uk 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. -- Clive |

Which, one wouldn't doubt, is more to do with creating jobs than actual or perceived security, given the generally high[1] level of staffing already on the Tube. [1] Many European underground systems have many of their stations completely unstaffed, even where they are below ground.
