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)

Err, nope, some managers are also in ASLEF...

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.
