And if they strike they don't get paid a cent more than you. Why not

Aww , my heart bleeds. Perhaps they should just do their bloody jobs
then.

shut your gob and find out why the discontent?


Discontent? They're a bunch of chancers and troublemakers. If LU is
such a bad employer why don't they just **** off and get another job.

Can i ask what you have done to improve medical staff and police salaries.

Nice try , but spinning the argument doesn't work.

As i have said before i have taken part in marches in support of fire
fighters and, going back, the miners and a good few in between. You would be


Yeah , right-on comrade! Up the revolution! What a hero you are.
LU drivers are stil overpaid no matter how many marches they go on to
try and ease their conscience.

very welcome to join us in the future. Somehow i doubt we will see you.


Because I actually just get on and do my job instead of moaning about
it.

A tube drivers options are rather limited seeing that there is only LU to
work for


True , apart from every single TOC in the country not to mention the
glasgow underground and the tyne and wear metro.

i dont suppose you would want to pay higher fares for all the
training that would have to be done. So thats a none starter


Not when I and everyone else is already having to fork out even
more to pay for you lot.

So everyone that dosent like there jobs resigns. Thats so wrong its
laughable.


Welcome to the 21st century you sad socialist dinosaur.

As for moving on every 2 to 3 years that sounds a bit sad to me.


Yeah well, those of us who can move on to something better do.
Other just do nothing about it, sit around and grow mouldy roots and
moan about how unfair life is. Pathetic.

So a qualification in tube driving on a line in London is valid on the
Glasgow Underground or the Newcastle Underground? How thick you are,
how sad. How many times do you want a boot up the backside to realise
that you don't know what you're talking about? Maybe the middle of
next year might help. But I doubt it. I'm prepared to discuss it, if
you dare.

No answer there then. I will answer it for you. You do nothing.

Im not after a revolution, im not a hero, im not an LU driver. My conscience
is clear. I do go on marches, im happy to give some of my free time to a
cause worth fighting for. Thats as opposed to do nothing which appears to be
your way.


Because I actually just get on and do my job instead of moaning about
it.


Moaning appears to be a full time occupation for you.

A tube drivers options are rather limited seeing that there is only LU to
work for


True , apart from every single TOC in the country not to mention the
glasgow underground and the tyne and wear metro.


How many vacancies are there on all those companies then? Your advocating
the whole work force moves on. Thats just daft.

i dont suppose you would want to pay higher fares for all the
training that would have to be done. So thats a none starter


Not when I and everyone else is already having to fork out even
more to pay for you lot.


What lot?

So everyone that dosent like there jobs resigns. Thats so wrong its

No. Its welcome to B2003's view of the 21st century. An incorrect one
thankfully.

As for moving on every 2 to 3 years that sounds a bit sad to me.

B2003


Im very happy doing my job. ive been doing it for 22 years. Thats a concept
you wont be able to understand. As for moaning about how unfair life is
thats all ive read from you about how your life is being sabotaged by other
people.

Im proud to be a train driver, im proud to be a trade unionist. Thats
something else you wont be able to understand.

So, you can moan, groan, whinge, whine and threaten. Were here, were not
going away, so get used to it.

Kind regards
Clyde

I'm so sorry. I thought an LU driver would have at least the IQ to
retrain
to drive a different sort of train (since I'm sure they want to stay in
the
rail industry so they can still go out on one of Uncle Bobs strikes.)
Apparently not.

No answer there then. I will answer it for you. You do nothing.

Why should I? Not my problem. No one forces anyone to go into
any form of job in this country. If you chose to go into a job knowing
the pay and conditions don't bloody whinge about it.

Moaning appears to be a full time occupation for you.


Ah , the irony of that statement :o)

Im very happy doing my job. ive been doing it for 22 years. Thats a concept

I can understand it. You aspire to nothing and can't do anything else.
You're
quite happy to plod along doing the same old thing until you retire.
Nothing
wrong with that , but don't think that gives you some sort of
salt-of-the-earth
self righteousness. It doesn't.

Im proud to be a train driver, im proud to be a trade unionist. Thats
something else you wont be able to understand.


Sure I can. When you want a better deal you don't go out , expend a bit
effort and look for one yourself, far easier to blackmail your
employers
to give you a better deal with the threat of industrial action , like a
spoilt
teenager having a go at his parents Thats all the RMT is about anyway.

So, you can moan, groan, whinge, whine and threaten. Were here, were not
going away, so get used to it.


Really? Perhaps you should take a ride on the DLR sometime and play
spot the
driver.

I think Victoria line drivers are only qualified to operate lifts elsewhere.
Push buttons to open and close the doors, as I read on a Westinghouse
signalling website!

I.Q. Don't enter into it my lad. No not, but you're to ignorant to
know the difference.

I never realised this group was as ignorant as Conor, but now I have
learnt just how stupid you lot are. Of course if you're ever in a tube
train that has the lights go out and stop in the middle of nowhere,
you'll all know what to do. (Won't you.)

You also won't understand that a given recognition isn't recognised by
any other operator.

Perhaps you should. Or more likely you didn't know that all of the
DLR. conductors are qualified drivers incase of a failure. No that's
to silly, it's way above your intellect.
