....and they sit there smoking grass all day.

so do you have the same legal right to disrupt a signalman's life if you have a dispute with your employer? Or as a rail user are you happy to pay whatever extra it will cost to cover the costs of their 'legal right'

It's over how to use the 1 extra hour they've already gained the selfish cunts, it's not like they've been asked to do do more work or compromise safety is it?

I took the car instead, Invicta. Whereas I presume, not actually needing to use a train today, you took the bus - as usual. What a prize WUM.

s***, did I fall for it? Ah well...

I have a car you twonk.

This behaviour however drops another percent off the likelihood estimate in my mind that going by train is a better option, which already is quite low

I say tear up the tracks and put new roads in the permanent ways, let's see how the selfish cunts earn their living then

Time of the Month Vicky?

I agree entirely with this post. Its a shame the iron lady isnt here to crush them.

Look at the unions behaviour at the Metro a couple of years ago.

If this had been the late 70's/early 80's prior to Mrs Thatcher's reforms, there would be flying picketing too. 

Resolve it in a grown up manner, rather than ever go on strike.

I would also be more appreciateive to the general trading environment and the company's own ability to implement pay increases or improvements to working conditions.

I have worked in organisations where my personal performance relative to objectives set has warranted an increase in remuneration but due to external factors (e.g. price competition that was affecting profitability) was not given one. Costs had to be controlled and I would have sanctioned pay freezes had I been on the Board too.

The Unions want their cake and eat it. Pay increase after pay increase in return for little or no productivity improvements. That was certainly the case in the 70's and 80's and the recent strikes at the Metro.

The Unions fundamentally undermine managements ability to manage. 

Managers in general can't f****** manage, they've got little or no idea what goes on at the sharp end.

and what has that got to do with this post?

any third party affected by my withdrawal of labour has the option of using a different company for their requirements, an option that increases in likelihood the more often I go on strike and the more unjustified my withdrawal becomes.

this is the situation 90% of the working population finds themselves in

the other 10% like these scum abuse their monopoly position.

Like I say, the only alternative is to stop using the trains
