Well doesn't that say it all?!

As originally stated, this is a "dispute" because some RMT members
regard themselves as being "shafted" - a far way from being a dispute
about "safety" at all! Frankly, as to whether the RMT or other strikers
are "shafted" or not is a matter of supreme indifference to me and the
majoirity of the long-suffering travelling public, who are themselves
"shafted" every time Crow or Law feel like having a long week-end away
from work.

Oh, 4,000 staff went on strike did they?

If that number went on strike and most of the system remained open,
clearly there is gross overstaffing anyway.


"democratic, legal strike"

Indeed, which is presumably why many exercised their democratic right
to carry on working.

A few scabs, ASLEF drivers who weren't balloted, TSSA members who live of
the backs of the RMT and some RMT drivers who weren't in the dipute. The
rest were unqualified and unlicensed office staff and managers.

Afew scabs????? Your definition of people who went to work is quite
offensive. Oh...and out dated. Democracy only works for you does it?
ASLEF drivers weren't balloted as you say so its obvious they will be at
work - get over it.
TSSA members don't live of RMTs back.....they weren't ballotted so obviously
they would be at work. Interesting that TSSA sent out a large pack for
members to read with ALL the facts before deciding. Jelousy does terrible
things to people doesn't it.
Unqualified and unlicensed managers???? Get real.....most stations opened
because RMT members came to work. Accept it.
Where did you get the 4000 who didnt come in?
They only loose 1 days pay. RMT set it so that is the way it works. If you
think they lost 2 what chance have you got for the rest of your so called
facts.
From what i see 40 groups have accepted it, 4 haven't. If you want to speak
aboutr democracy, what about that then?
Sorry if this offends anyone but sometimes........

To and anyone that agrees with him.
NYE and 9 Jan is two days! I ddn't say ASLEF, TSSA and RMT drivers were
scabs. You can't count and your command of English is a bit suspect too.

because they know that the company is after shafting them.

Would that be the 1,568 who actually took part in the ballot, or the
2400 who didn't?

Sorry about the bad English......I was a bit tired. However I think that
comment reflects exactly how despearate you are......... If you can't win an
argument with truth, resort to a personal attack. But i guess i saw that
from your 'scabs'comment.
The 2 days is correct.....It was so inefective i forgot you had 2 days off.
I can't resist pointing out the first line of your response.......
Sometimes you just have to accept you can't win a fight, move on, look at
another issue and admit defeat like proffessionals.
