Sorry Tunnelrat, but there are plenty of people who would love to do our

You are. Compare yourselves to medical staff , police etc. And don't
even bother with the standard issue "well thats up to them/they're
unions
etc" bull**** speech. You're overpaid. End.

Can i ask what you have done to improve medical staff and police salaries.
As i have said before i have taken part in marches in support of fire
fighters and, going back, the miners and a good few in between. You would be
very welcome to join us in the future. Somehow i doubt we will see you.

Personally I voted for strike action, because these policies are
draconian in the extreme, it takes something to get me to vote for a
strike, I don't think it will actually come to ASLEF going out on
strike, but the RMT are a different kettle of fish and like wasting
their members money.

Something I've always wondered. If you lot down at LU find your jobs
so much hassle and stress that you always want to strike , why don't
you do what everyone else in the working population does when they
hate their jobs and bloody resign? Most people in my industry (IT)
usually move on within 2 - 3 years. Why can't you lot? There are only 2

reasons I can think of:

A) Your job is a cushy number and you all know it so you'll never leave

or

B) You're all too ****ing dim to get employment doing anything else.

Which is it?

A tube drivers options are rather limited seeing that there is only LU to
work for plus i dont suppose you would want to pay higher fares for all the
training that would have to be done. So thats a none starter.

So everyone that dosent like there jobs resigns. Thats so wrong its
laughable.

As for moving on every 2 to 3 years that sounds a bit sad to me. Still i
imagine your work mates breath a sigh of relieff that someone as adusive
and, later in this thread, violent as you has moved on.

Nice try , but spinning the argument doesn't work.

Yeah , right-on comrade! Up the revolution! What a hero you are.
LU drivers are stil overpaid no matter how many marches they go on to
try and ease their conscience.

Because I actually just get on and do my job instead of moaning about
it.

True , apart from every single TOC in the country not to mention the
glasgow underground and the tyne and wear metro.

Not when I and everyone else is already having to fork out even
more to pay for you lot.

Welcome to the 21st century you sad socialist dinosaur.

Yeah well, those of us who can move on to something better do.
Other just do nothing about it, sit around and grow mouldy roots and
moan about how unfair life is. Pathetic.

Could the passengers now also call for a strike
on the basis that tube travel on London is now a complete f**k-up.

No point in dong a one day strike. Just do what me, and four of the
other six people I live with have done and start cycling every day
instead. It's so much less sweaty, quicker and more reliable for most
journeys. Leave the tube for the tourists to suffer
