Oh that's good. I can still go out. :cheer2:

[Mitchell]

Oh dear. Can't you get the bus instead?

[lostalex]

I think a spontaneous strike would be better i'd like all tube workers who are thinking about striking to go stand in the tracks right now.

[Vanessa]

The strike starts at 6:30 pm, so i will have plenty of time. I'm going out at lunchtime.

[waterhog]

i think allot of sickys at work the day of the strikes - you can not blame them.

God bless the unions...genuinely. There should be more of them, then a lot of ppl who are p'd off / inconvenienced by this strike would understand that these days there are very few that will stand up for you within the workplace, and you should cherish those that do.

Am I affected? Yes. Am I glad they've taken action? Also yes.

:clap1: :clap1:

Aren't you worried that the workers wanting to protect their living might affect profits?

[Crimson Dynamo]

£53k a year and 43 days holiday...

for sitting on your arse looking at your phone

[lostalex]

the trains really should have been fully automated years ago. there's no doubt we have the technology. The city really should just pony up the money to get google or whatever other company that can do it, and automate the trains. There hasn't been a need for drivers for a long time.

I suggest you compare safety records of driverless trains.

[lostalex]

I suggest you compare safety records of driverless trains.

compared to the safety records of busses or cars or cycling, which everyone is being forced to use today, i imagine they are looking better and better. hell i bet they are even safer than just being a pedestrian.

Yes thats the Future Plan.


This Union is Greedy
saying they want more things
is saying they want even more money spent

[billy123]

Meanwhile the vast majority of the UK couldnt care less.

[Vanessa]

I didn't go out today. Not a good idea with this strike. :unsure:

Sure its a London Problem.

Why don't we have driver less taxis and buses too then? :laugh:

[Livia]

The death throes of a Union bound for extinction. And not before time.

[waterhog]

what a day - i have just got in - hope everything is back to normal again.

on the one day i want to get a tube its the day they strike - you could not make it up.

[Kizzy]

Until people are directly affected instead of indirectly nobody cares. Sad state of the nation.

[arista]
