The real reasons behind the strike?
Isn't Bob Crowe, as one of Livingstone's cronies, a member of the
T.F.L. Board? If that is so, how can he possibly negotiate on the union's behalf in any event? Conflict of interest and duty? Oh, sorry, for him to understand that concept presupposes he has a brain to start with. In fact, is there any evidence to suggest Crowe has a brain at all? And they say prehistoric dinosaurs died out with the Ice Age! Marc. |

From the BBC's site 'Key players in the union movement' re Bob Crow: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4197262.stm A former communist, he professes admiration for Arthur Scargill and for Chairman Mao, and he began his own climb up the ranks of the RMT in 1983, succeeding the late Jimmy Knapp as boss in 2002. He has said: "I'm not one of those union officials who continually say they regret the inconvenience caused by industrial action. You cannot have a dispute without inconvenience to the travelling public." Sums him up quite well really.. Paul |

He was appointed to the board on 1 June 2002 and resigned on 25 June 2004 after a row with Livingstone. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3838961.stm -- Richard J.
