My mother accused me of breaking her media centre when I upgraded the wireless cardbecause BBC Breakfast wasn't on this morning.
I am not part of a union anymore so no I guess I would not strike.
Strikers should be more militant. The last strike here they just smiled and gave out leaflets. I think we need to go back to the days of throwing concrete blocks off bridges, killing the cabbie and teaching the scab a lesson.

As a London Underground userI imagine I have a skewed view of striking, but my general feeling is that it's blackmail by greedy and self-serving peasants. I'm of the 'if you don't like it you can always leave, you know - someone else would love your job that you can't stop whining about' school of thought. The only other striking I know anything about is the fucking French and those knobbish miners who REALLY STUCK IT TO THE MAN by refusing to work in those coal mines which had no coal in, that were about to close. YEAHHHH NICE ONE.

Oh no, this is an entirely seporate incident that I'm making up on the spot that might have actually happened.Bob Crow was in Faces in Gant's Hill, and took a load of cocaine. He then walked across the road to the kabab resturant and ordered a "Faaakin' Donnor, mustifa, don't be cheap on the sauce, I'm onto you, when the fuck did you come to this country anyway? MOAR SAUCE" until he walked out with his pita-bread and sauce with a bit of chicken donnor in (don't trust that 'muzzie elephant leg', his words, not mine, if I wasn't making this up).
He then tried to get a black cab, pulled one over, "Sorry mate, I know you are Bob Crow, but you will have to finish your kabab first", so bob crow pulled out a hammer and smashed the side window in, pulled the cab driver out via the window, and made him "bite the curb".
I'm sure that might have happened, sounds plausable.

the only reason Bob Crow can get strikes is because the workers are pissed off with the managment.If the managment didn't piss off the workers so much then he'd never get a strike vote passed.

All I'm saying is that the two sides can't make a decent agreement between them.You'll say that's because Bob Crow is being unreasonable, I'm saying that due to the way union rules work the agreement should be easier for managment. They only have to persuade a majority of workers that it's acceptable, where as the other side has to be accepted by only the managment.
