    Train strike off

    Rail strike plans cancelled after court injunction

    That's what happens when you let dumb f***ers organise a strike vote.

    My favourite was the vote from a signal box that hasn't been used for decades, and was burnt down over a year ago.

      He might be a tool, but he is right. The work plans for Signals staff are divided down to the minute. I can't see how they can reduce working hours and still have a safe system. Without redefining what safe means. Which I don't think the travelling public would agree with. (and was illegal, but I guess the government have changed the law on that.)

        Now they'll go on strike at some time rather less convenient for me.

        Gits.

          The safety case is not as cut and dried as you seem to think. 46% of the signallers themselves voted against strike action. Perhaps that is why they needed votes from non-existent staff.

          It is not rocket science to conduct a legal ballot.
