What you going to say in 12-24 months time if the LU decide that the drivers wages are unsustainable and decide to automate the trains (which is very possible)putting all the drivers out of a job ...how strong will the union be then .If you look back over union history ,all have failed to keep members jobs if a alternative is available to the management .What makes you think this will be any different .In my opinion the tube drivers will eventually price themselves out of a job
