Ok so can someone answer me a question. It was stated that it is illegal to picket at stations however it was also stated that they picket certain stations, is it legal or not? Sorry if I'm being stupid.

Sorry if I'm being stupid. Where Southern have depots that the strikers work at, they can strike. Depots are: Vic I think legally there might be a injunction about picketing at Victoria. Something to do with Gatwick ex drivers.

If this is going the way things went a few decades back re: strikes, and if it is the Government pulling Govias/Southern's management strings and upping the ante- to ensure conflict by pulling out of talks and 'sabotaging' services, then the next stage would normally be to get massed ranks of police involved to up it even further via fisticuffs. Maggie was clever in her vindictiveness. She got the police on her side and increased their numbers before going to industrial war unlike this absolute shower of sh1te in power at the moment who haven't got the brain power to handle this effectively and it is showing. Feel sorry for all involved 'cept the management and politicians and any union agents provocateurs if any. Looks like it will be getting worse before it gets better which seems to be exactly what some suits want. Edited by Kermit8 (12 Dec 2016 2.43pm)

I see that the unions got hold of more internal memos regarding Southern deliberately cancelling trains when crew available.... that manager who released it better be careful, he/she is being hunted.

But just because they get paid loads, it doesn't mean that concerns and issues raised by unions are less valid. don't forget, members vote whether to strike or not.

But why do they earn so much....would have thought they should be on the same monies that the people they represent earn.

I couldn't give a crap how much of their money they waste on the dickheads in charge of them. What I can't stand is that they get funding from the government and the EU and that government or civil service employees who do union work, do it at the taxpayers expense too. They should be entirely self-funded, and if they were there wouldn't be about 6 different unions representing the same line of work. And of course the union leaders get paid during a strike.
Optimistic as ever |
