We can indeed hope Elizabeth but given how strong those unions are I think there is a long way to go yet. 24-7 underground running, Christmas day running, driverless trains - all will no doubt be raised as an issue at some point - oh and of course the ongoing safety/pay/holidays/someone dismissed-for-drinking disputes. I am not against unions at all, they have an important role, and would support a just cause (and have) but I don't think all the union posturing for the underground drivers is for a deserved cause all of the time. |
