I thought with Bob Crowe dead they'd calm down a bit.

But it seems they wish to become bigger c**ts than ever before.

If a bunch of cunds decided to block London with ro*******s for many days they' be taken care of.

More of a ransom than a strike.

It's not only commuter problems it causes. London suffers from this in all kinds of ways.

as much as humanly possible for the enrichment of the undeserving few and to pursue radical political ends that can never be achieved by democracy or reasonable persuasion.

Anyone who's a union member ought to be ashamed of themselves.

employ a load of East Europeans and send them to work whenever there's a strike somewhere

somehow reprehensible - as opposed to being the simple, sensible and rational economic decision that it so clearly is. If I walk away from my desk right now and refuse to come back until I get more money, my company will simply - and rightly - sack me for my dereliction of duty and replace me since, by walking away, I have essentially waived my protections and am in breach of my employment contract. What rational reason could I then have to take against the person who has replaced me due to my own greed and stupidity?

But for some reason the rules are supposed to be different for union members? f**k that.

about how the fleet st print unions would refuse to operate the presses if editorial printed a negative story about another trade union. The printers used to clock in for each other and sit in the pub all day and basically held the newspapers to ransom. When I left, we had fully automated presses in Broxbourne, which only required a handful of staff to just supervise the machines.

My colleague once got the *******ing of his life when he innocently put the clock forward in his office, because only a designated person was allowed to do it, and got paid a fortune for each clock they changed.

The print unions were a notorious racket. You needed every bit of artwork to be signed off (at a cost of course) by two unions or it couldn't be printed, the only way into printing was to be related to a printer - it was a total and utter closed shop and the pubs around Fleet St were famously always full of printers drinking during their 'working' hours.

In other words, it was what happens when you give unions a monopoly.

print. Murdoch wasn't able to do a thing about it, because their colleagues would threaten to go on strike, and they were the single point of failure in the entire process

What the LU staff don't realise is, that everytime they go on strike for financial reasons, public support for automating them grows stronger and stronger
