I bet he's glad his management aren't trying to take his job away.

the jobs are going (or rather changing) because of technology changing their workplace
i wonder if the strikers who are striking all refused to buy MP3 players and electronic music to support HMV staff who lost their jobs? surely they all refuse to have digital cameras and smart phone cameras, to support everyone who lost their jobs when jessops went under? and i bet none of them watch movies online, ever, because they still want to use blockbuster.

No, the jobs are going (jobs are being lost)
because the management are trying to make relatively small cost savings (relative to overall budgets) and have decided that nobody ever needs to use a ticket office, despite millions of tickets being sold via ticket offices every year. It's unnecessary.

the proposal of having them walk around the station is much better
they could give them portable machines, like guards have on trains, or like the pay machines in the apple store. and they could help people who struggle with the machines.

and they're going to cope with "my oyster card is dead" how exactly?
because it was a ticket office that gave me a new one when mine stopped working.
