I remember being told that when I joined the railway.As a member of the general public who enjoys travelling by train I must say I now haven't a clue who is striking and when, "working to rule" or generally destroying what at normal times is quite a functional transport system. I love the language of "being compelled to take this action", as opposed to "we have chosen of our own free will to take this action because we believe we are strong, important and worthy of being paid far more than most other people with jobs guaranteed for life and no compromise on outdated and totally unaffordable working practices."
Well, good luck with that. The general public are behind you all the way. A long way behind.
By the age of 40 I was made redundant.
Just saying.
(And can you give examples of "outdated and totally unaffordable working practices"?)
