    I know. We got that in a quiz once and I was sure it was Angel (I used to work there) but was out-voted by someone who thought he knew better

    The time for putting up with this is over. Someone has to bite the bullet and deal with the transport unions who are not as others state, standing up for the working class. While they have no duty to those other than their members, far from standing up for the working class, they shit all over them because many live in transport poverty because of exorbitant fares, a large proportion of which go on ridiculous salary and benefits packages

    It would be short term pain, but the next time these fuckers threaten a pointless strike - and this is pointless let them know that anyone striking will be considered to be in breach of contract and will have their employment terminated. Then follow through on it.

    If they all go out, fire them all.

    Then start again, freeze out the unions because they have had a large amount of power and abused it relentlessly for decades. You could even bring salaries down to more appropriate levels and still have incredible demand for what are essential yet simple jobs to perform.

    It would be painful in the short term, nut long term we would have a certainty of service while having a well compensated work force. We could even reduce the ridiculous transport poverty that exists today

    Very true and having had a train set when I was younger I can confirm it's a very simple job, must make sure you don't go too fast round bends though as you can derail the train that way and end up with a lot of dead or injured passengers, I never did it but I always ran my trains empty as I coudn't find any fare paying passengers that small.
