Fantastic!

P.S. I hope they are not going to make negotiations a weekly exercise!


There is the potential for this issue to run and run depending on what
actually happens to the Metronet Infraco businesses. I suspect the
slightest hint of any deviation from what Mr Crow thinks is agreed will
cause ballot papers to fly out of the windows of RMT HQ.

Of course, he may have other, more political, motivations about
preventing any sale of the Metronet businesses but that becomes very
hard to construct an industrial dispute around. I can't see him being
particularly deterred by any apparent or perceived problem like that.
