Didn't see the point on commenting on it. Everyone knows my views and
if I posted what I really thought about Bob Crowe and his performing
monkey Bobby Law I'd probably be done for libel.

Suffice to say it seems to me that the sort of people who join the RMT
are nothing but whinging work shy scum who are quite happy to shaft
everyone to get what they want. A dose of the real world instead of
their cosy unionised protectorate where theres always someone to
pick up the toys they throw out of their ptam would be one hell of
an eye opener for them. I'll be moving offices next year in my job.
If I don't like the location I always have the option to resign. So do
they. (Oh yeah , theres that spurious safety argument they dreamt up
down the put as well. If its that important why isn't Aslef balloting
too then
and the whole workforce walking out?)

If you want to know why ASLEF isn't balloting you haven't read what it's all
about.

I think that was his point - it clearly isn't about safety, as ASLEF are
staying put.

Safety has different people in different sections/departments dealing with
it.

Aren't ASLEF a driver-only union? Doesn't the RMT represent all types
of railway staff? Isn't the issue over station manning levels?

Thats just a smokescreen. As usual its really about doing less
work more conveneitly for the same or more money. If
The Two Bobbies were really genuine with their hand wringing
soul searching routing about how they're concerned about the
travelling public, they wouldn't have called a strike on new years
eve just to completely and deliberately screw up the best party
most people have the whole year. They've turned into cardboard
cutout charicatures of all that was bad about the unions in
the 1970s (though Bob Crowe by the way he dresses and talks
seems to consider himself some sort of dapper working class,
salt-o-the-earth intellectual. What a joke)

Aslef?
Aren't you the ones who had a strike for that driver who couldn't
restrain himself from going through red signals? Arnos Grove I think it
was.
Did he get his job back?

Membership is open to those in the line of promotion to driver or who have
been drivers.
