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've said it before and I'll say it again, ASLEF&C were not a militant
union until Donaldson declared it was illegal to work to rule. Do you
want your safety compromised? No. Neither do I, and until you
understand railways and their operation you're out of you depth. So go
away, do a little research about the implementation of the Industrial
Relations act and it's serious concerns for safe working on the railways.
Then come back and discuss it.

When discussions about safety don't always deteriorate into some LU workers
complaining about having to work 2 extra hours a week that they already
agreed to, this "oh worry about the safety!" argument is completely
bull****. They can't repeatedly cry wolf and expect the public to give a
damn.
