Well perhaps next year everybody will stay at home and these strikers will suffer.

what a prat
He's a typical union leader who will be on full pay whilst the workers are out on strike.
You can bet he does not give a toss about the travelers, He's more interested in getting the workforce out on strike where he wants them.
Why are the unions in this country intent on ruining Christmas this year.

Re: Eurostar drivers in Christmas walkouts
Again one can only marvel at the cynicism displayed by yet another union and their members...

Re: Eurostar drivers in Christmas walkouts
Actually it only takes one side, the other side is not prepared to just surrender. WWII would have been easy(for Hitler) otherwise.
