OFFS, I don't care how much they get paid, what I do care about is the fact that because some trade union has their panties in a bunch they have gone on strike inconveniencing millions of people, costing London and screwing over thousands of struggling small businesses.
I use the tube as little as possible and I felt like a smug git on my bike this morning. If its too far to cycle I have a motorbike. It is the people that don't have the luxury of that that are fucked over.
And saying "Do thousands of individuals and businesses rely on you?" No they don't but that is exactly why those drivers shouldn't be striking, HTFU and realise there are over a million people looking for work. 10,000 tube drivers in the union and 3 thousand voted for the strike. Are there any specialist skills required, not really, are there people who would bite their arm off for a job like theirs, Yes.
