Tube strike, London

Well done, Mark. Did you even read what I wrote before wading in? I didn't say my job is shit - I quite like my job, actually - and I work in a unionised workplace; I also said on the whole I support unions. My point about pay, which you would have got if you'd read my post propery, is that they already get pretty well renumerated for what they do. Personally I don't think driving a tube train is as hard as being, for example, a nurse on A&E and they get paid a damned sight better than them, so to be asking for - and then striking over - a 5% increase (and the rights of their workers, who were in the wrong) annoys me. Perhaps I was wrong to use myself and my girlfriend as examples but you get my point. I did also state that it's no doubt a shit job that I would not like to do.

Time for bed, Mark.
