Tube strike, London

Spot on.

It's that sort of argument that I really can't stand. "My job is shit, I have shit conditions and can be fucked over at any moment, so everyone else should be too." If other industries and unions hadn't capitulated so easily, maybe more of us would be in a strong position - would you say no to being? Working somewhere where I've been threatened with redundancy 3 times in the past year I think I'd really like a unionised workplace - workers inevitably have no power individually, only collectively.

As for the obsession with how much someone else is paid - where does this come from? Jealousy? If you are jealous, apply to join them. I wouldn't, because I wouldn't want to do their job. It irks me that it seems many people aren't honest about their motive for slagging other workers off.

Fuck the tube drivers! if you don't like the job get another. i have Z.E.R.O patience for these people who bitch about work and do fuck all about it. change the record you halfwit button pushers.

If the job is shit do something you do enjoy, there will always be people willing to work and if they don't TFL have to improve standards or improve the running to attract good people to do the job well
