There's another tube strike this week. Cunts.
When were you last inconvienced by selfish wankers?

There was something in the papers the other how Bob Crow is currently on his jollys at some £10kpw resort in Rio.
It naturally mentioned that he's on £150kpa and lives in a council house.

Bob Crow must be one of the most despised people in Britain.

He should rename himself Bob Cow
Then people would like him

If they want to safeguard their jobs, they ought to try actually doing them for more than a week at a time.

If the tube drivers are that crucial, surely they should be paid more.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:04, Reply)
The average tube driver salary is over £50k.

I think the lesson here is that more people should join a union.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:10, Reply)
Nothing wrong with being in a union or having your rights protected. There is something wrong with demanding more just because you know you can blackmail your employer in to it.

It's usually considered acceptable when top earners do the same, why should blue collar workers be any different?

I don't know anyone who finds blackmailing your employer with strikes acceptable.

If I were to resign I am sure they would offer me more to stay

Give me examples of when 'top earners' do the same.

(I helped save b3ta! Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:16, Reply)
When footballers refuse to score goals until they get more money
No wait that wouldn't work. Most top earners who refused to do their job would be told to fuck off, not given more.

There is currently a lot of rhetoric about how CEOs, or whoever, should be paid ludicrously high salaries, plus large bonuses and shouldn't be taxed too heavily because they will leave the country or some shit.
It's the same principle.
(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:19, Reply)
BOLLOCKS.
It is nothing like the same principle.
(I helped save b3ta! Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:20, Reply)
I want more and I am prepared to use whatever means of blackmail available to me in order to get it
How is it not the same?
(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:24, Reply)
If a CEO tried that, they'd be fired & replaced - the shareholders wouldn't stand for it.
Most boards have a sub-board committee to address the pay of their senior management. Pay recommendations wouldn't get through the board if the shareholders weren't happy.

Quite frankly, if you're the CEO of a major business that employs thousands & delivers millions in shareholder value you deserve a high salary for having the responsibility.
(I helped save b3ta! Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:27, Reply)
So they never negotiate for increased pay or benefits?

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:34, Reply)
Of course they do, but shareholder approval has to be given.

(I helped save b3ta! Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:36, Reply)
So what is your point?

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:38, Reply)
That you are a prick, at a guess.

That is not in question here.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:48, Reply)
My point is that it is not 'the same principle' as you put it.
CEOs don't hold their customers to ransom to get a pay increase.

Tube drivers do.
(I helped save b3ta! Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:40, Reply)
CEOs say that unless they pay enormous salaries then the shareholders will all lose their money
and given that we're not talking about a few people on the street who own the shares, we are in fact talking about pensions compnaies who own the majority of shares so actually we're talking about a big boys club who all slap each others backs and give each other pay rises.
(I helped save b3ta! Bazongaloid, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:42, Reply)
His point is that he doesn't have a fucking clue how this is different

Yeah, that worked out really fucking well the last time we tried that, didn't it?

(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:13, Reply)
Yes.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:14, Reply)
You must have missed the strikes bringing the country to a standstill
and being a sizeable contributing factor to the depression that was the cause for the four day week.
(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:40, Reply)
You must have missed increased worker safety and benefits

Bin men are crucial.

(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:07, Reply)
Then they should be paid more.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:09, Reply)
They're not striking to ask for more though, so they can't be too unhappy with what they earn.

(I helped save b3ta! Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:10, Reply)
They aren't skilled workers, Most able bodied people could do it, just because its crucial doesn't mean they deserve to be paid more

Just to inconvenience Londoners.
They're all extremely well paid and have an easy job that could done by a machine and as a consequence have completely worry-free lives.

(I helped save b3ta! Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:53, Reply)
Apparently they have considerably more than 3 times the responsibility than the rest of the workplace.

(I helped save b3ta! Bazongaloid, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 10:55, Reply)
I dunno.
A company owner is responsible for the livelihood of the workforce.

If their company folds, that's all the workers out of a job, and potentially their families at risk.

That's quite a lot of responsibility.

They're bastards about the way they structure the 48 hours too.
Starts Tuesday night - so they have to start winding the service down before 8pm, when it starts. Then it takes ages to get the service back up to speed on Thursday night and isn't right again until Friday morning.

Still, If I had to be in a union it'd be the RMT. Have you seen the holiday they get?

I could, but i have an education. I'd be wasting that.
Plus I'd have to regularly rub shoulders with the sort of people that don't even have the necessary drive to learn a proper trade. They're really only one step up from dole-scum and get given a similarly ridiculous sum of money to continue their meaningless, empty lives.

46 days holiday?
Bloody hell - no wonder so many times we have delays due to staff shortages - they've probably completely forgotten they've actually got a job.

There is literally no downside to driverless tube trains.
The reason the drivers are scared is because they'll have to get real jobs where they'll actually have to work for a living and get paid what their skills are worth.

And if they're lucky enough to have someone jump in front of them they get a year off on full pay!

As I become increasingly misanthropic, I'm starting to seriously consider a career with TfL.

Sign me up for Cashmere!

I do love cashmere. Can't wear lambswool or anything like that, has to be cashmere.

I prefer big, thick lambswool jumpers.
Cashmere just doesn't seem to keep me as warm.

Warmest item of clothing I have ever owned.
Even if it is, perhaps, not an especially socially acceptable one. I fucking love it, anyway.

Christ - apparently only 30% voted in favour but they are going ahead anyway
not even you can defend a strike where 70% of members voted no or didn't vote

Your statistics don't tell a complete story, so can't really be used to argue for either side.

bollocks
how is 30% a sufficient majority of anything?
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:28, Reply)
I don't think I said that it is.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:31, Reply)
It would be interesting to hear how they came to the conclusion that they should go on strike, despite only 30% of their members voting for it.

(I helped save b3ta! Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:37, Reply)
Probably a quorum of members required innit
