All have said guys that I think that in certain industries no strike deals would right. This would mean far better safeguards for employees than currently exist though - I am not taking sides

Strikes in the rail industry have always been disastrous. The ASLEF strike in 1955 in the end permanently damaged the freight sector. Some of the anti rail attitude that eventually resulted in the Beeching plan under the rail hating Earnest Marples came from industrial trouble in the industry.


I have no time for Magaret Thatcher she did enormous damage, but I think the RMT members are not well served by their leadership and perhaps should consider a change.

The road hualage industry will be main winners if this strike goes ahead, they must love it!!
