Well given the rather generous pay scales at LUL it must be pretty
damn safe, so what are they whinging about?

B2003


That includes people who work on oil rigs and deep sea divers?


Robin, perhaps you'd like to enlighten us about the reasons for this strike,
because the safety connection is not at all clear IMHO. In particular, why
does closing a ticket office cause a safety problem? I thought that
staffing of all stations had been guaranteed.

LU say that "these issues have nothing whatsoever to do with safety, and not
a single job is at risk."
