This must be one of the more weird strike threats, surely? The trains have plenty of barely less acceptable alternatives for their passengers provided by Southern and FCC and the Government is planning to scrap the franchise and GatEx service RSN anyway. So why this suicidal tactic? -- Colin Rosenstiel |

If they do strike actually strike on carnival weekend then they'll lose many people's sympathies. I guess that's all part of the game - they won't actually go ahead with it, but they just threaten to strike on a critical day (or days). I thought the TSSA - the union threatening the First London bus strike - were one of the more reasonable unions. That said, I don't know the specific grievances that First London employees have. |

If they do strike actually strike on carnival weekend then they'll lose many people's sympathies. What sympathies? I don't expect or want anyone's sympathies, but I have not had a pay increase (let alone a 4.5% pay increase THIS year alone!) for 8 years. Nor am I allowed, legally, (according to H.M Attorney General and Lord Chancellor who have threatened to bug telephones and take legal action) to go on strike. Marc. |
