I am sorry but I read nothing in that story that would change my opinion of Bob Crow or the RMT.

All the RMT wants is to cause maximum hassle to the travelling public and to the freight sector that is trying its hardest to get lorries off the road. This type of action does nothing to prove to people that WE the railway are here to run a service. If we can't run a train our customers don't say Oh its ok its Network Rail thats on stike not, (insert company), They just see the bloody railway not delivering on their contract again and this just put more bums on buses seats or more gas guzzling lorries back on the road.

As one of the comments states. When WE are on strike the high hied yins of the union are in their offices keeping warm and getting paid whilst the workforce are out freezing their bits off for nothing.

And yes I am in a union ASLEF but having started my working career in the military I personally see strike action as a total last resort as it does no good for my industry and more importantly it does no good for me putting food on my famillies table.
