If they're that bad, why work for them?
Why not resign and get a job elsewhere?

The RMT voted on it, accepted it, and their staff are now suffering from
their headlong dash towards accepting it, they didn't explain how the 35
hour week would be implemented and are now reaping the results.

Sorry to anyone who is affected.

Bloody troublemakers should be kicked out.

Ten who would run the tube the bosses couldn't run a **** up in a
brewery.

Did I specify who the troublemakers are?

(BTW - the convention is this NG is for bottom posting. Ta.)


OK Cheers - so who do you think the trouble makers are?


Let's bring this issue back on track. OK so there is misinformation out
there
that needs to be knocked on the head and a solution found.

Can't find the solution straight away so a strike is called; fine but
why on
31st December? Could you not wait until 1st January or a few days
later?

Now, who is being bloodly minded?

David Bradley


1. The Mayor wants the tube to run all night on NYE
2. Part of the 35 hour week deal was that staff would work NYE for NO
EXTRA pay.
3. Last NYE as part the deal they did work for no extra
4. Staff also agreed to 200 ticket office jobs going (natural wastage)
5. Now the Mayor, LU bosses and the Government want to axe 500 jobs
6. Would you still work NYE for NO EXtra if your boss reneged on a deal?


What "www.waspies.net" has said is partly true but this highlights what a
load of ****E the LU management are. They promised no staff reductions,
200 ticket jobs lossed and full consultation on rosters.

Now they want 500 job losses and imposed rosters. The management have
reneged on the original deal. They are trying to shaft the best union on
the railways.


RMT "the best union on the railways"??? I'm a frayed knot.
I think you'll find that the title of Best union on railways belongs to
ASLEF.........

Hmmm... A search on "David Knight RMT tube" on Google brings up a number of
relevant hits. The first is an article written by "David Knight - tube
worker" for Socialist Worker.

http://www.socialistworker.co.uk/art...rticle_id=6409

The second is a post on a comments section on the BBC website in support of
Aslef & the RMT over the previous Northern line closures due to "safety
fears". In his contribution he identifies himself as an "RMT Health and Rep
(stations) on the tube"

I'm sure his website will be completely impartial :)

He's also "Global Network UN representative" (Whatever the hell that may
mean)

Makes you wonder where he finds the time from to work on the tube, doesn't
it?

Can probably give that one the benefit of the doubt. The Google
search I did only up a Dave Knight involved with UNISON, as well.

The very fact that Mr Knight doesn't identify himself on the site, nor
his inherent impartiality, speaks volumes.

Your (6) might seem superficially convincing, if only you
hadn't already explained that the staff get a 35hr week
(partly) as a result of working NYE for no extra. Also,
at no time in 1-5 did you explain that the deal involved
no job losses.

Typical. When you can't win the argument annihilate a person's reputation -
or try! You have to get your facts right first. And much of what has been
posted is sooooooo wrong. Have Fun!



Happy Revolutionary New Year

So, Dave, why don't you correct us?

While you're about it, please feel free to explain why you don't just
resign and get a different job elsewhere if LU are so **** to work for.
