LUL signal and control staff to ballot after talks fail - 6 Dec 2004

DECEMBER 6: LONDON UNDERGROUND's biggest union is to ballot more than
330
signallers and line controllers for strike action after six months of

negotiations failed to resolve a four-year dispute over pay rates,
pay
structures, hours and conditions.

Oh what a surprise , its almost christmas and theres a possible strike
on
the underground.

Given the amount of strikes on the underground recently this leads
to 2 conclusions:

A) LU is one of the worst blue collar employers in the country and the
staff
are living a wretched existense despite the high pay rates and easy
hours or

B) The people who work for it are some of the most greedy, work shy,
selfish
and bone idle ******* in britain who are about as much in touch with
workplace
reality as Timothy Leary on a bad trip.
So lets have a survey. Why is it all you LU people? A or B?
