[Chim]

50 Grand a year to open and close the fking doors of the train and they go on strike, really beggars belief

If they have ample drivers happy to do it then what's the issue? If your in fine then you can be on the rota if you refuse then you are not and not for the duration of your employment.

I'd say the union think this is the thin edge of the sword and in time the number of lines and frequency will increase that's the big problem

What a crapper eh, ridiculous that the nasty rail company is trying to provide a better service for their customers by offering extended service times. Do they really think that their staff are there to provide a service to the customers.

Sounds like jealousy to me.

Course I am poppet, I lie awake at night wishing i could drive a little train all day waiting for the big highlight at each station of pressing the "door open" button. Such amazing fulfilment and 50 grand a year to boot.

Or you could just look at my profile and see just how stupid that comment actually is.

So what's your beef then, darling?

Fairly simple, they are already paid a great deal of money to undertake what is in effect a very menial job, they also have some of the best T&C's in the country due to the continued ransom of the city through Strike action, T&C's that are in fact ridiculous in consideration of the work they do. To again come out n strike to effectively hold one of the worlds most important economic hubs to ransom over some petty little infringement of what they deem to be their rights is quite frankly disgusting.

Hope that helps honey.
