They're on the warpath again! I do support the right to strike, some folk need some sort of last resort, but asking for beefy pay increases, when the economy is obviously dented? FFS, etc.

Wrong since abject poverty was more or less banished and poor working conditions improved. One of the only places where I can think of where striking might be warranted today is for farm workers. I don't know whey those lowly paid feckers don't go on strike. Minimum wage should be more like £15k to protect those dozy cnuts, which even that is obscene when you think an unsackable GP is on around £125 K - £250 K.Comment

I agree totally and was arguing this idea 10 years ago. No drivers would be needed then, and trains will definitely not go on strike.
Drivers are very well paid at the moment and with great pensions, so this strike, as usual, is inexcusable. This is just more evidence that what Thatcher started in neutering the unions in the 80s should have been continued, and hopefully the Tories will have a plan to do just that after 2010.

They can do what they like - I never use it. Too scared.
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.
