Rail Strike off

Shrug, all that will happen is the RMT will re-ballot and the strikes will be even longer and more disruptive. When will management learn that p*ssing off your employees does not help their business. I guess strike breaking is the latest management trend though.
 
Good news! I wish they'd done this sooner though, I've already booked flights for next weekend because I couldn't take the risk of waiting to the last minute to find out if I could travel with train tickets I booked months ago :(.
 
Maybe the staff should just get on with their jobs they are paid to do. No wonder immigrants capitalise on our failings of wanting to work.

This is a scandalous attempt by Network Rail to use the full weight of the anti-union laws to deny our members their basic human right to withdraw their labour.

If I strike, I'm out of a job - That's my rights - quite simple.

get out of the 70's

When will staff learn they are there to do a job for which they are paid and they do not have to be employed at all.

Unions should be illegal, they are nothing but trouble. I fully support railtrack, BA and any other company that sticks 2 fingers up at the unions, hopefully it wont be long before strike action ends in termination of a workers contract.

Get to work or **** off, simples.
 
But when one of the addressess balloted for this strike was a signal box that was burnt down over a year ago it does make one wonder about the validity of the ballot.
 
Easter would have been ok, it was next Tuesday-Friday.

There is a ton of engineering work going on this weekend though so I'd check your train hasn't been replaced by a bus..
 
Hope this isn't an April Fool's joke, as the strike was going to maybe disrupt my journey back from the airport next Friday!

Fine - lets see how long your business lasts without any employees. You'd go bust quicker than you can say "Hired Goons".

You mention Railtrack - you know they went bust ages go because they basically cut corners that compromised safety and resulted in people's deaths. The same managers are now running Network Rail and are trying to pull the same trick it seems.
 
Cracking news, really wasnt looking forward to using several buses to get into the city, getting home would've been even worse. What happens if they all just call in sick now though?
 
Good news, about time they got this settled around a table. I read in the paper that signalmen were voting from non-existent boxes and that there were other voting irregularities.
