Yes, we could all look forward to the many multiple strikes [& the chaos they cause] followed by the massive service & goods price increases due to the increased business costs.
Presumably to cover all the extra money you will need to pay for the massive price increases.
What planet was this all on again ? |
The extra money would come from the rich who would have less billions to spend with, It is not suprising that there are many Occupy Protests in the world!
There does not need to be many strikes, give in to unions demands and the very rich would have to make do with less billions in their swiss bank accounts!

For godness sake, This was not caused just by Trade Unions but by inflations which caused workers to demand high wages, looked what happend when we weaken the power of trades unions, the rich got much richer and the rest have not at all or in some cases became poorer, and that just the start!

Put simply, the tube is the *only* option available to a lot of people when they go to work.
Take, for example, my old journey. I used to work in Baker Street. I live near Bromley. Believe me when I say there is no way to travel from Bromley to Baker Street in an hour or less (at Rush Hour) without using the Tube.
A lot of London has the same problem. The Tube drivers know this, and take advantage, which is precisely why they should not be allowed to strike.

I understand what you mean, but I did not vote for a mayor who is more interested in fighting Bob Crowe than trying to fix the many problems london and the south east is facing.
In Norway, Sweden and Denmark they are more generous in terms of public spending and union relations!
