24 Hour Tube (strike) 8th July

[Ernest]

Just a shame the millions that work ridiculous hours on a shite wage don't get the same treatment A Ernest
There's people out there that do 50/60/70 hrs a week on a minimum wage....That's why I get pissed off with all this Union bollocks time and time again.

Have they thought about joining a union ?

I work monday to friday if weekend or unacceptabke hours became compulsory I would walk regardless of any amount of additional money or benefits.

I have no idea what you do for a job but I can't think there is much of call for an underground driver anywhere else in the country.

Yes without this Union Bollocks, everyone can be on minimum wage.

I guess £50,000 a year isn't enough.

Yep. I guess the prices could go up even further to pay them say double the national average pay. The metro prices are amoungst some of the cheapest in europe......

They should live outside and travel in like nearly everyone else. It's not like they'll have to pay for their transport either. #NeverHadItSoGood

[Herr Tubthumper]

The person who programs it won't.

What a lovely environment to work in. Out of interest what field do you work in?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I'm not saying fire everyone, just the ones whose jobs can be done by machines.

Do you watch a lot of science fiction?

 

[alfredmizen]

im waiting for norman baker suck my lozenge to join the debate, he works there and actually knows whats really going on.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

More than half the population would snatch there hands off for a job on the tubes

Possibly. But part of the reason the jobs have desirable pay and conditions is because employees have stood up over the years.

We should be celebrating and supporting highly desirable jobs, not the opposite.

Mocking someones job says everything i need to know about you, #****

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

From what I've read (admittedly, not a great deal) I have some sympathy for them. Regardless of the pay element, to suddenly be told you could be working nights and weekends with no real limitation or warning is a bit ridiculous, the whole concept of a work/life balance would go straight out the window.

Does that apply to doctors too?
