Let me speak for every single traveller on London Underground, if I may -
**** YOU.

Thanks for that. In fact i dont think you can speak for every traveller
on London Underground but i doubt that will stop you.

I bet I speak for more than half If you don't remember, sentiment
towards striking tube workers, who clearly used the travelling public as
pawns in their arguments with the suits, wasn't that great. And it's
getting worse every time Bob Crow sticks his head on TV or anyone mentions
striking.


YOU chose to work on the underground - we don't choose to travel on it.
For most (if not all), it's the only way we can get around London. If
you don't like having to actually work for your money, go find another
job where you can eat biscuits, drink tea, and moan about the public.
You are supposed to be providing a PUBLIC service. You can't just turn
around and go "oh - don't worry lovely public - we're just using you as a
pawn in our sick, selfish game. We want more money to do less, and we'll
claim it's down to safety, but really we just want a day off"

I dont chose to work on the underground, i dont work on the underground.

I to use the underground to get to work but that dosent stop me from
supporting those that take industrial action in a worthwhile cause.

The cause doesn't justify the method, does it?

I dont understand your last sentence. How does striking over safety result
in more money? As a regular passenger on the underground i would have
thought you would have an interest in being safe whilst travelling. If its
all about money why lose a days pay on a strike that dosent result in any
more money? Then you say its because the strikers want a day off. Why
wouldnt they just go sick for a day on full pay if they are that desperate
for a day off and money is so important?

But the "safety" arguments quickly deteriorate into talking about pensions
and slight working hours increases. The safety argument is sooo tenuous at
best. I've still to hear a single decent argument as to why all these
things the RMT has previously agreed to are now suddenly dangerous.

It dosent add up.

Exactly. Which is why people are ****ed with the striking RMT asshats.
