Mr Bobbys performance related bonus must be due soon. Obviously the
strike quota hasn't been met this year so something needs to be done!

He does seem like a drunk on a Saturday night strutting up the street with
his medallion swinging and shouting "who you looking at" at the passers
by. Just out to cause trouble !!

According to the BBC he's got them a better off which he's recommending be
accepted...

It's very unfair of you to use facts like this to spoil everyone's
game of coming up with non-sequiturs for the gratuitous abuse of Bob
Crow.

Abuse of Crow is never gratuitous.-

He is a rare example of a union leader who actually does his job
instead of chasing a knighthood.

Obviously, a lot of people wish that union leaders wouldn't ever do
their job, and have political reasons for disagreeing with their aims.

But their inability to come up with reasoned arguments when faced with
a union leader who actually supports his members, and constant resort
to random personal abuse, is not very impressive.

I'd be interested to know what the arguments against Bob Crow's
position on supporting his members might be, but no such reasoned
argument seems to be forthcoming.- Hide quoted text -

I'll give you a reason: some people get paid more for doing the same
job that others do. It's not a vast conspiracy by the "bosses". It's
called life. Maybe it's unfair: that's also called life. Every time
Crow's members feel they want a bit more money, or to work a bit less,
or get some other incentive or whatever is NO excuse for Crow to
support their unworthy cause by causing panic amongst the travelling
public by threatening strikes every time they feel like flexing their
muscles. Where in Crow's job description does it say he must support
each and every strike threat however moronic the claims may be? If
they don't like their pay, conditions etc., the answer is simple: get
another job. If there are no other jobs, that's sad but it's also
called life.
