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


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


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

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.


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.


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
laughable.


Welcome to the 21st century you sad socialist dinosaur.


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.


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.

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

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 )

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.

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.

Have you considered councilling, theres obviously something wrong with you.
You dont care about this group of people you dont care about that group of
people, i think this may well stem from a lack of self respect. There are
people out there able to help you.

Anyway enough said. I will leave you to rage on. Just one last thing, it
couldnt be that what really annoys you is that LU drivers [im not one, nor
am i in the RMT] earn more than you. Yes i reckon that could be it.

See you on the picket line brother.

Regards
Clyde
