[brendan_dj]

Does anybody know which lines are affected?

 

[KhalJimbo]

Ahh poo

 

[sniffer66]

Its a nightmare, had to book a coach for the 22 of us going to see England

 

[mjn]

ALL lines are affected.

 

[Steven]

Marvellous

Why do you need a coach to see England, its surrounding you!!

 

[Citizen J]

ALL lines are affected.

Indeed, normal service not expected to resume until Friday Morning.

 

[mjn]

Just got a text from TFL as well, confirming the strike is still on

Not all bad news though, i get 2 working from home days

 

[Steven]

Just read the BBC article saying its a 2 day strike, hence above suggesting Friday before normality

5% pay-rise and a promise of no compulsory redundancies. Are we in a recession? Are we another union punishing the public?

I'm sorry that was a typo, it should have read "couch"

 

[KhalJimbo]

So whats going to happen then, no service at all or just limited service?

 

[Ed Selley]

So whats going to happen then, no service at all or just limited service?

There will be as near to no service as makes no difference. Overground and DLR function so with a bit of lateral thinking you can go most places you need to.

 

[HMHB]

The radio is reporting that the England game might be played behind closed doors now They are going to decide later on today. What a farce when people have already made arrangements!

 

[cabanatuan]

Greedy people want a blooming payrise AND work less hours during a recession? are they mad? sorry but imo they are greedy ungrateful morons if that the case.

my mate who is a train driver earns 40k STARTING salary and i have another mate work works as one of those guys who just stands next to the barrier all day earning 24k.

edit: only 1/3 of the union voted for the strike! what the hell?

 

[DJT75]

Compromise - give them all a 10% pay rise Friday & make them all redundant Monday morning.

 

[cabanatuan]

or just toss them all under a train

 

[KhalJimbo]

My second week of london living is off to a great start now haha

Tube driver should get no more than 25k and even that is generous.

 

[KhalJimbo]

Looks like they want alot more than just money, they even are saying that part of the strike is to get two drivers re instated after being dismissed for what they say is unfair dismissle

Mod EDIT: you can't post that in here

 

[eric pisch]

when maggie smashed all the unions i think she left the tube unions on purpose to remind us of what they where like

lets see country going broke, millions loosing there jobs or on pay freeze / reduced hours and they want 5% and there going to cripple london if they dont get it

beggers belief
