I'd imagine that if i was a fully paid up member of a trade union I'd expect my union to resist my pay being cut (up to 30% in some cases) whilst the management still get million pound bonuses.

I'd be pretty disappointed if my Employer wanted to impose changes without any negotiation or input from my chosen representative, the Trade Union.

I'd be more than a bit peeved if my genuine concerns that the Health and Safety of the travelling public could be comprimised were totally ignored by the management.

I'd be wondering why I was paying my union dues if my Union didn't offer me the chance to withdraw my labour in protest at the arrogant stance of the management in refusing to talk to it's own workforce.

As a customer I'd be wondering why the management didn't at least consider the genuine and viable proposal presented it by my Union.

I suppose when you've got the reputation of being a Union basher and you've got a press that is happy to union bash at every possible moment, you don't really have to give such considerations.
