Much as I detest this character, I feel compelled to agree with him over the drivers refusing to volunteer for sunday working after their pay rates were slashed. WTF did London Midland Management imagine was going to happen under such an arrangement?? British Management..........you wouldn't follow them out of a burning building!!!

Agreed. I don't like Bob Crow (even though I'm ex RMT) but the drivers did nothing wrong, they are not contracted to work Sundays.
Mgt: "Will you work Sundays for normal pay?"
Drivers: "No"
Mgt: "Ah go on.......pleassseeeeeee?"
They don't get this whole barter system do they. If they want them to work weekends make sure its in thier contract and they are properly compensated for it. Its beggars belief that a company that is providing a service doesn't have cover for 1/7th of its working week! Can you imagine Tesco/Asda not having anyone contracted to work Sundays and just hoping they turn up? -
I bet Bob Shawadiwadi and his pals could drive a train.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Why is it no surprise that you back this retrograde bunch of overpaid, work-shy individuals? The British working class and their sense of spurious entitlement to wages and benefits that cannot be justified by the level and quality of work done is the reason why this country is bankrupt.
HTHHard Brexit now!

As to level and quality of work done, I'd say the drivers were doing an admirable job - when was the last time a train crashed and it was the drivers fault?
HTH
PS: Bob Crowe is a ****** of the highest order. This country would be immeasurably improved by his demise/retirement."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

what is a even bigger joke is that lack of "work" they do on the Underground anyway. From ticket inspectors to those behind the counter - its a joke - cant even call it a job. Yet they moan at every development.
Sack the lot of them and get in the Polish!Comment

What is the barrier to entry to becoming a train driver?
Aside that is, from being able to stay awake.
These guys are overpaid layabouts and Bob Crow is a complete ****.Comment
