As for driverless trains, you need someone on them and if they are a members of unions (even the RMT), then they can still strike and the same problems will be there

Anyway surely this is the final straw. They have shown any form of national pride or decency is gone, they are total money grabbers quite happy to hold the country to ransom and I won't shed any tears if the tube gets automated and the unemployment figures take a small hit.

Sadly, what the defenders of a failed system do not relise is that they have strong unions and they are getting the decent wages and conditions that are not given to most workers
Rather than complaining, do what the RMT does

Why should a tube driver get paid more than 50% more than someone who risks their life to save others, and have to deal with the carnage if there is a derailment?
There are many people who work in the public sector will have to do far more work during the olympics, but will get no more money, have had a pay freeze for three years, and are due a pay cut due to extra pensions contributions.

If those public sector workers had unions like the RMT, then that would not be the case
