ASLEF - Giving Yokels a reason to feel sorry for Towies since 1880.
This lot and the FBU must surely see that they have done more harm to unions than Maggie (peace be upon her) could ever have dreamed of. They have no idea how to play the long game, and as a result their membership will lose horribly in the end, you only have to see how dramatically different the public view of fire-fighters is today compared with 10 years ago.

Hmm, how much were IT geeks asking for the work the millennium?
People will ask for what they can get away with, private or public sector.
Yes but they are not asking are they? They are demanding and then when they don't get their demands met refusing to work with no repercussions to their job for doing so, so hardly a fair comparison! People will ask for what they can get away with, private or public sector.

Without details of what the tube drivers contract say about working on Bank Holidays it's difficult to judge the merits of their case.

This is slightly different though. The IT guys were contractors and therefore are entitled to negotiate a market rate for their services. The tube drivers are employees and have already signed contracts that will stipulate their T&Cs.People will ask for what they can get away with, private or public sector.
Triple pay and a day off in lieu is a joke. You either have the triple (or double) pay in compensation for not having a day off or you have another day off in lieu. Both is just greedy. Especially when they're already paid £40k pa to sit on their arses and press a button every now and again.

I'm sure plenty of people could be trained to drive a train for the day to replace the striking staff, but it's against the law. I've said it before. If staff go on strike over anything but health and safety, they should be able to be replaced for someone who's willing to do the job. If nobody wants the job then the company will comply with the union requests. If someone does want the job then the employees are likely being unreasonable and will get replaced.
