Give it 12 months and I'm sure Bob Crow will find something else to whine about, which of course will lead to more strikes.

It'll backfire..
The DLR routinely operates with no actual driver on the train (although there is a member of staff who can take control, closes the doors and checks tickets). The Victoria and Jubilee lines can also operate the same way... |

This is absolutely repugnant, and offensive to Londoners who are feeling the squeeze of below inflation pay rises or freezes.
*Taps a quick and unhappy email to Boris and TfL. |

It's not even protecting the Olympics from strikes so Bob can hold LU to ransom over that separately for heaven's sake. Pathetic.
---------- Post added at 23:43 ---------- Previous post was at 23:01 ---------- I'm rather hoping to see what Boris has to say about this, given we've Osborne and Pickles getting all hard on unions Boris capitulating to the RMT in this alleged time of austerity where we're all in it together. Handing a pay rise of this level to the RMT is an insult to Londoners receiving below inflation pay rises and seeing well above inflation fare rises, it's an insult to the entire public sector who are seeing pensions and salaries put under pressure, and it's an insult to everyone who voted for Boris in the mayoral election. |

I think we should give the Londeners a £50 bonus in their benefits too. we don't want them rioting again and scaring the foreigners.

Personally i think anything over £20,000 for pressing a button to go forwards and another to stop is a good deal. There are some who disagree though.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...ing-phone.html I work in the public service myself and have always answered the phone when off duty for free ie no payment. The tube unions use their power no doubt but so do other vested interests wrongly in my view.:( |

Even a newly trained constable earning around £25,000 would pocket £64 for a similar call. But the point i was trying to make was this certain groups of workers tube being the obvious example seem to get very good deals due to their power,rightly or wrongly the police seem to do very well. Wheras the soldiers that fight for the freedom of our country die for very little reward. All over the public sector be it tube drivers or any other employee needs to have a proper structure which appears to be delivered by the power wielded and nothing else. |

Anyway as has been mentioned before I reckon it's getting close to the tipping point where automated trains will be cheaper than continually caving in the demands of the union. |
