    Where have you seen those dates for Tube? I thought they'd been called off? Just checked as I'm down there Tuesday/Wednesday, but can't see anything saying there's strikes.

    Assuming it’s a wum but if not I cannot believe what I’m seeing, someone with a connection to Barnsley calling striking workers lazy ******** and calling for them to be sacked.
    Even if it’s a wum, it’s sad reflection of contemporary attitudes in this country. Depressing.

    Then there'd be no trains at all. And, further to your initial post, why do you say they are all lazy bar stewards? Would be interested to know the reasoning for that catch-all statement

    They are all on very wealthy incomes and some are on 4 day weeks.

    I know of drivers who’s role can be to sit on standby for 12 hours on double time. You don’t hear them moaning about bad pay when they are taking in nearly £500 for no work

    Are you for real. Who's fault is it they are on standby. Theirs ? Just shows how inefficient management are. I know of CEO's in industry that fail in every which way and get massive bonuses for failing.

    I would but then not go on strike because not getting paid enough

    employees agree a salary before there employment begins or get this reviewed during employment.
