Much as Bob Crow is a massive tosser
we have no idea what's actually going on behind the scenes. Don't think that people that work on the underground would voluntarily give up their pay over something frivolous, and also don't think for a moment that without the presence of the union, that the tube management wouldn't take absolutely any and every opportunity to shit all over the workers and compromise both the service and safety of passengers.

I agree it's a pain in the arse, but to say "The economy is on it's knees" as a reason why people shouldn't stand up for the rights of workers is pretty silly. It's times like this when unions are more important than ever as unscrupulous management will use this as the perfect excuse to fuck over their workforce if they can.

no al, your logic hurts me
it inconveniences ME, and there are NO TAXIS so i have to walk from kensington to the city or take a 3 HOUR BUS RIDE.

and they do it ALL THE TIME. this isn't a one-off thing, they threaten to strike almost once a week.
