Because then there would be no point in striking during NYE or England
football matches


Of course there would be - the company takes a massive dive because it's
running a full service, and not getting any money for it. Them striking on
NYE demonstrates my point exactly.

The unions have beef with management, yet they take it out on the public.
The public are then expected to kick up a stink and get management acting in
the way the unions want. Why don't they cut out the middle man and stick it
to the management straight away? It seems absolutely ridiculous for unions
to penalise the public for the management's decisions.

I'm a left-leaning individual, and even I can see those asshats at london
underground (Mr Crow I'm looking at you, you fat pie-eating redneck) are
looking out for themselves with no consideration for the public (which, for
a public transport company, is not a great idea).
