In this case the unions are calling the strikes because they see it as inevitable that guards are on the way out which means less membership and less power if your the cynical type ,if not then they are trying to protect the jobs of members .Whichever way you see it the government have a lot to answer for because as far as i am concerned they are pulling the strings with GTR

There is NOTHING that Southern can agree to. 1) They've already agreed to keep them on. 2) After 2021 they don't get a say anyway. 3) 5 years time is hardly "on the way out". 4) As they're actually planning to have MORE people on board, are any jobs actually at risk?

He claimed there will actually be more people on board than there are currently and the on board supervisors will all be safety and security trained.
