BBC NEWS | England | London | Tube strike will affect millions
Seems to me these guys are living in fairyland. We will soon have 3m unemployed, every industry suffering and shedding jobs, firms going to the wall left right and centre yet these muppets think they have some god given right to a guaranteed job with guaranteed above inflation pay rises despite a shoddy and inefficient service.
To demand this is absolutely nuts right now;
"On Monday last-minute talks between the RMT and London Underground (LU), which lasted for 10 hours, broke down.
LU had offered staff a four-year deal of 1.5% this year and then the inflation rate plus 0.5%; or a two-year deal of 1% now and inflation plus 0.5% in year two.
But the RMT wants a 5% pay rise and a promise of no compulsory redundancies.
About 3,000 RMT members balloted in favour of the strike."
Thoughts?
